Live the slow life in a countryfied region known for its conservation efforts and steeped in history. Waterfowl, wetlands and all manner of wildlife can be found at the world-famous Rutland Water Nature Reserve, a reservoir that provides sanctuary to thousands of birds every year, and welcomes visitors to enjoy the landscape.
Uncover the past at the medieval town of Oakham with a trip to the ancient Norman hall, or simply enjoy stylish shopping and tasty food. In Rutland’s only other town, Uppingham, you can walk amongst honey-coloured buildings and pick up gifts at the boutiques before relaxing in a café. Stay in a cottage for a relaxing, peaceful holiday in the heart of England.
