On 1st July we drove up to a small campsite called The Paddock situated a very short walk from Rutland Water. We were spending 3 nights joining up with Sue & Mark, helping to celibrate his 60th birthday along with Sue’s daughter Rachael and her fiancé Alex (who braved the soggy weather in a tent!). It’s a beautifully positioned site, close to the Visitor’s centre, ideal for walks or cycle rides around the lake.
