Executive Summary 1.1 This study relates to specified areas of land in Rutland around Oakham and Uppingham and on the edge of Stamford which are being evaluated by Rutland County Council (RCC) as part of its Local Development Framework (LDF) Core Strategy. The Council has commissioned the study in order to help determine the most appropriate directions for future development in Rutland. 1.2 The study follows best practice methodology for judging landscape sensitivity and capacity in accordance with the techniques and criteria described in The Countryside Agency’s and Scottish Natural Heritage’s joint Landscape Character Assessment Guidance for England and Scotland, 2002, Topic Paper 6. 1.3 Detailed fieldwork on the edges of Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford has been undertaken in order to provide a finer grain of assessment than the county wide landscape character assessment undertaken by David Tyldesley & Associates in 2003. This was required in order to provide a greater level of understanding of the landscape and settlement character sensitivity of each of the specified sites. 1.4 Land on the edge of Oakham has been sub-divided into four landscape character types, referred to in this report as ‘North West Oakham Vale’, ‘North East Oakham Vale’, ‘Egleton Plain’ and ‘High Rutland Fringe’. 1.5 Land on the edge of Uppingham has been sub-divided into two landscape character types, referred to in this report as ‘Uppingham Ridges and Valleys’ and ‘Uppingham Plateau’. 1.6 Land within Rutland on the edge of Stamford has not been further sub-divided into smaller landscape character types. The eastern half of the site, referred to as Site B, lies within the ‘Clay Woodlands’ landscape character area as defined in the 2003 county wide landscape character assessment. The western half of the site, referred to as Site A, has an indistinctive urban edge character. 1.7 Consultation was undertaken on a draft report (Issue 1, 21 April 2010) in April 2010. Consultees asked to comment were: CPRE, Rutland Branch English Heritage (EH) Leicestershire County Council, Historic & Natural Environment (LCC) Leicestershire & Rutland Wildlife Trust (L&RWT) Natural England (NE) South Kesteven District Council (SKDC) Few comments were received, which were generally minor in nature. In EHs opinion the study provides a useful evidence base for the LDF but will need supporting by additional assessments on historic landscape character (LCC suggested that this could be a separate research project) and biodiversity. EH also commented that RCC will need to understand impacts on heritage assets and other potential impacts of growth due to road

  • Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2
    Blue Ball Cycle Ride #2 Mountain bike (or walking) route from the Blue Ball around Leighfield and back. This peaceful route takes you up and down a set of hills and valleys to the south of Braunston. The first couple of miles are on-road, the rest is predominantly on well-surfaced tracks but also on wide, grassed ways. There are gates, but no stiles to cross. The Route: Ride Time 1 hour, Elevation Gain: 705 ft., Distance 7 miles Park near the Blue Ball (1) then, if you're standing at the pub looking towards the churchyard, head off left and then immediately downhill to the right, following the signpost to ‘Leighfield and Ridlington’. Passing the stream to your left, keep on the road and head up the hill. You are now on Wood Lane which you will need to follow for about another mile. At the top of the hill (2), follow the road left and then go down the next hill. As you cycle up the following hill, you will see road sign near the crest. At the sign, you will see that the right-hand turn is signposted ‘Leighfield Lodge, No Through Road’ (3), take this turning and carry on. When you come across a gate in the road (4), go through the gap just to the right and continue heading straight down the tree-lined avenue that is Leighfield Way. At the bottom, you will find yourself at Leigh Lodge (5). Here you must follow the zig-zag in the road, left and then right.

  • Royal Forest Trail
    Once there was a large forest on the borders of Rutland called the Royal Forest of Leighfield. Now only traces remain, like Prior’s Coppice, near Leighfield Lodge. The plentiful hedgerows and small fields in the area also give hints about the past vegetation cover. Villages, like Belton and Braunston, once deeply situated in the forest, are square shaped. This is considered to be due to their origin as enclosures within the forest where the first houses surrounded an open space into which animals could be driven for their protection and greater security - rather like the covered wagon circle in the American West. This eventually produced a ‘hollow-centred’ village later filled in by buildings. In Braunston the process of filling in the centre had been going on for many centuries. Ridlington betrays its forest proximity by its ‘dead-end’ road, continued only by farm tracks today. The forest blocked entry in this direction. Indeed, if you look at the 2 ½ inch O.S map you will notice that there are no through roads between Belton and Braunston due to the forest acting as a physical administrative barrier. To find out more about this area, follow this trail… You can start in Oakham, going west out of town on the Cold Overton Road, then 2nd left onto West Road towards Braunston. Going up the hill to Braunston. In Braunston, walk around to see the old buildings such as Cheseldyn Farm and Quaintree Hall; go down to the charming little bridge over the River Gwash (the stream flowing into Rutland Water).
