Welcome to Rutland — England’s smallest county, where reservoirs meet market towns and the A47 keeps Oakham and Leicester firmly connected. With around 40,000 residents who know the shortcut past Rutland Water better than any sat‑nav, Rutland blends rural calm with commuter convenience.

Schools That Actually Impress

Oakham School (the independent heavyweight), Uppingham School, and Catmose College all carry strong reputations. Translation: your kids will get a solid education, and you’ll have plenty of parents comparing exam results at the school gates.

Economy With a Balance

Rutland’s economy mixes agriculture, tourism, and small‑scale manufacturing with growing service and retail hubs in Oakham and Uppingham. Add in commuters heading to Leicester, Peterborough, and Nottingham, and you’ve got a county that’s practical, connected, and quietly thriving.

Things to Do (Besides Timing the A47 Traffic)

• Rutland Water – sailing, cycling, birdwatching, and postcard views.

• Normanton Church – iconic lakeside landmark.

• Local favourites – Uppingham antiques for treasure hunters, Oakham Castle for history buffs, and countryside walks for fresh air and photo ops.
