About Rutland

Discover the Countryside

For a relaxing break in the countryside, without the traffic or the queues, come to Rutland. Imagine miles of uninterrupted views across open countryside; footpaths that follow historic and well known trails including the Viking Way and Macmillan Way, and a more enchanting scene around every corner. 

Or enjoy meandering through country lanes, listening to bird song, with chocolate box villages dotted along the way.
Why not take off by bike, and explore the county on two wheels, perhaps stopping off at a traditional Inn for light refreshments on the way.
