Explore Baston & the Deepings & the local area

Baston and the Deepings make a more relevant starting point for this guide than the Rutland towns named in the existing title. The surrounding south Lincolnshire area offers wetlands to the south-east and heritage outings towards Bourne. Plan each as a separate drive with suitable destination parking.

Deeping Lakes

Wetland birds · Deeping St James

These flooded gravel pits support wildfowl and other waterbirds, with a waymarked route and bird hides. Bring binoculars if you enjoy watching wildlife. The reserve’s access guide describes surfaces and gradients; assistance dogs only are allowed.
