Walks & Outdoors
Whissendine is surrounded by beautiful Rutland countryside, with plenty of walking routes starting from the village. If you have a suggestion for a walk to add to the list below, email info@whissendine.net.
The Rutland Round
A long-distance circular route of around 65 miles close to the perimeter of Rutland, with diversions to Rutland Water and Oakham. The route is divided into five sections of similar length and can be started at any point in either direction. More information from the Long Distance Walkers Association; a printed guide is available in bookshops or from the Tourist Information Centre, Sykes Lane, Empingham.
Whissendine to Teigh
An easy two-and-a-half mile walk from St Andrew's Church to the church in Teigh — great for families and dogs, and around an hour each way. Head left out of the church onto Station Road, pass the allotments, and take the track on the right. Follow it downhill to the railway crossing, then continue along the Rutland Round footpath through the fields into Teigh. There's no pub in Teigh, so plan accordingly.
