Explore Barnsdale, Rutland with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Barnsdale map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers OS MAPS — Ordnance Survey Outdoor mapping and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets — plus a labelled National Grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Barnsdale, Rutland, England. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

OS MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows OS Outdoor mapping — contours, footpaths, bridleways and access land. Explorer 1:25k shows the OS Explorer sheets themselves: the orange-covered 1:25 000 maps walkers, fell runners and mountain rescue teams use, with field boundaries, rights of way and open access land. The search box finds any British town, village or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Barnsdale.
Reading the map like a paper Explorer sheet. Click Grid to overlay the OS National Grid, labelled along the edges exactly as a printed sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference such as NY 266 234 by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an OS National Grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what mountain rescue and the coastguard work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your grid reference stays correct even where the map itself cannot load, which in the Lakes, the Dales and the Highlands is often exactly where you need it.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Barnsdale holds the quiet composure of a place that has long watched the slow, seasonal shifts of the Rutland landscape. It lies 2.8 miles east of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 87°T, OS grid SK 904 090), and is situated north-north-east of Upper Hambleton village. The local topography finds its definition in the expansive horizon of Rutland Water, which embraces the surroundings with a vast, reflective stillness. A short distance to the east, the ancient boughs of Barnsdale Wood offer a sheltered sanctuary where the light filters through the canopy in thin, pale ribbons. This corner of the East Midlands retains a grounded, agricultural character, far removed from the sharp clamour of the modern thoroughfare. Visitors might happen upon the stone obelisk marking the start of the Phil Newby Secret Fruit and Nut Trail, a modest monument that invites a slower pace of exploration. Barnsdale remains defined by this intimate proximity to nature, where the wind carries the scent of damp earth and the distant, rhythmic call of birds from the nearby woods. Such quietude grants Barnsdale a sense of permanence, anchoring it firmly within the rolling, heavy-soiled fields of its heritage.

Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any British town, village or landmark by name; offers OS Outdoor and the OS Explorer 1:25 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled OS National Grid so the map can be read like a printed Explorer sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an OS National Grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the grid reference remains correct even where the map cannot load.
