Sound Ride Around Rutland Water

Sound Ride Around Rutland Water

For help using the Echoes App, please visit vtsw.uk/echoes The small county of Rutland uses the Latin motto “Multum in Parvo” which means “Much in little”. This reflects the fact that Rutland is the smallest county in England by area, but it has a lot to offer in terms of natural beauty, history, and culture. This sound ride has been created so that people who are cycling around Rutland Water, can learn about the history of various points of interest around it. If you'd like to walk it, it'll still work, but you'll have long gaps between the various echoes. There's no specific start or finish point, so you can start your ride (or walk) at any point on the loop. Also, this has been created to support the Leicestershire and Rutland charity, Hope Against Cancer. If you enjoy it, please do consider making a donation to the charity by visiting www.justgiving.com/hopefoundationcancerresearch and clicking the Donate button.
