Shopping
Rutland is a great place to shop, not only for clothes, but also for art, antiques, jewellery and much more and all in the beautiful surroundings of traditional market towns. There are also the cities of Leicester, Nottingham and Peterborough close by, and shopping villages too!
Shopping in charming Market Towns
If you are looking for clothes that you won't find on the highstreet, then head to Oakham, Uppingham or Stamford to find independent boutiques along the high street and down many side streets. Not only do these picturesque towns offer quality clothing, but also a large selection of unique gifts, high class art and some exquisite antique shops.
