Hambleton Peninsula

The Hambleton Peninsula lies within the reservoir Rutland Water, in Rutland, England. When the Gwash Valley was dammed in 1975, the area surrounding what was then a ridge was submerged, including a small number of properties in the hamlets of Nether Hambleton and Middle Hambleton. The village of Upper Hambleton survived, and now sits on the peninsula, which is some 2¼ miles in length and 1000 yards in width.
The area of the peninsula lies in the parish of Hambleton with the exception of a small detached area of Exton parish on the north shore.
The Hambleton Peninsula and its surroundings feature heavily in British author Robert Goddard’s fictional mystery thriller Set in Stone.
