Rutland - "Multum in Parvo" (much in little)

Whether you're looking for a day-trip or an overnight stay then Rutland has something for you. Two market towns and over fifty rural villages combine to offer superb accommodation, dining and leisure.

Rutland is well known for being the smallest County in England covering an area 16 miles wide and 11 miles long.

Perhaps its most famous feature is Rutland Water, which attracts visitors from across the UK. This giant reservoir is popular for fishing, walking, cycling, sailing and other recreational activities.

Away from the tourist trail, Rutland has many hidden treasures and is often compared to the more famous Cotswolds for its natural beauty.

Two market towns, Oakham and Uppingham, sit alongside 54 traditional rural villages, all offering something slightly different.

With a huge choice of visitor attractions - including museums, stately homes, nature and wildlife centres, historic sites, cycling and walking trails, and garden centres - you'll always have something to do.

England's smallest county is waiting to be discovered!
