Town and city breaks in Rutland

In Britain’s smallest county sits Oakham, home to the Norman Oakham Castle. Its great hall houses a vast collection of horseshoes belonging to every peer of the realm who has set foot in the county. The market town of Uppingham is a browser’s heaven, with art galleries and antique shops nestling amongst the ironstone houses.

Normanton Church, now a water museum, dominates the landscape at Rutland Water. Perched three metres above the waterline, it tells the tale of the villages that disappeared when the reservoir was created in the 1970s.
