After breakfast, our coach takes us east to the expanse of Rutland Water. Here we board the Rutland Belle Cruiser to travel in style. Starting at Whitwell, our cruise takes us on a trip to Normanton. Known for its nature reserve status, you may be lucky enough to see birds in their natural habitat including Ospreys. During the journey there’s a stop at Normanton Church, one of Rutland’s most famous landmarks and a structure that appears to float on the lake when the reservoir is full. Free time for lunch (not included).

In the afternoon, we enjoy a visit to Burghley House and Gardens, described as England’s greatest Elizabethan house. Burghley is perhaps best-known for its historical collections of important works of art, early tapestries, impressive Japanese ceramics and sculptures. After your visit to the house, explore the grounds and visit the unusual Garden of Surprises and the Contemporary Sculpture Garden. We return to Leicester late afternoon.
