For outdoor enthusiasts, there are endless opportunities to explore. The nearby Rutland Water Nature Reserve offers cycling, sailing, and birdwatching, while the Nene Valley provides peaceful riverside walks and charming country pubs.

Closer to home, the village of Wansford, less than a mile away, provides traditional English charm with a riverside inn, tea room, and local walks along the River Nene. For a day trip, venture over to the bustling city of Peterborough, with its 13th century cathedral with impressive Gothic face, a heritage trail taking you back in time with access to the Peterborough Museum home to a reconstructed Victorian operating theatre, fossils and paintings, as well as Burghley House, John Clare Cottage and Sacrewell Farm all being well-worth visiting for a true rural experience. For railway lovers the Nene Valley Railway offers a trip back in time on a steam train, the children will love the Santa ride. The market towns of Oundle and Uppingham are all within easy reach.
