Rutland

Rutland is Britain's smallest county but its a little gem for a Clues To Go route. A combination of history and beautiful countryside, as you circle Rutland Water from one historic town, Oakham, to another, Uppingham.

By Oakham buttercross the old stocks for some reason have five leg holes!

Both Oakham & Uppingham boast fine & ancient public schools.

Much of the village of Normanton has disappeared under Rutland Water reservoir. What remains of the old church sits close by the water's edge.

Several nature reserves and a butterfly farm surround Rutland Water. Near Exton there's an Owl & Falconry centre.
