Hambleton Peninsula

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hambleton Peninsula lies within the artificial lake known as Rutland Water, in Rutland, England. When the Gwash Valley was dammed in 1975, the area surrounding what was then a hilly ridge were drowned (including the small villages of Nether Hambleton and Middle Hambleton. The neighbouring village of Upper Hambleton survived, and now sits on the peninsula, which is some 3500 metres in length and 1000 metres in width.
