Rutland England’s most rural county…. In the heart of the East Midlands is a county largely unspoilt by the modern era; a place where sleepy villages nestle amongst rolling hills and where you can still enjoy traditional village fetes in summer complete with cake competitions, maypole dancing and Morris Men. In Rutland, good food is a passion and Rutlanders believe in fully supporting our local producers; pick up a copy of Eat Drink Rutland for the best places to dine and shop for local food. Rutlanders rejoiced when independence was granted from Leicestershire in 1997; and they’ll proudly share this slice of English idyll with you on your next short break.

Also on site is a children’s play area and specific dog walking area. Whitwell is the place for activities. There are numerous things to have a go at, try your hand at numerous watersports, rock climbing or get harnessed up for the high ropes adventure course.

A fortnight full of walking routes to suit all, starting with a week of various walks around the villages and countryside and ending with the opportunity to walk the Rutland Round in 7 days.

Exton village walk

Walking Rutland is a wonderful place for walking all year round and each season brings its own palette of colours to the rolling countryside.

Village walks There are a range of enjoyable circular walks through some of the county’s prettiest villages, most of which start and finish at a great village pub. Each leaflet has two circular walks to choose from in the villages of Exton, Braunston, Empingham, Ryhall and Wing. The Oakham Heritage Trail leaflet is also available to highlight the many buildings of historical interest in Rutland’s county town.

Five village walking leaflets are available to view and order for free at the Discover Rutland website: discover-rutland.co.uk

One of the most exhilarating ways to explore Rutland is by bike, and there are routes discover-rutland.co.uk

to suit everyone, whether you cycle seriously or purely for pleasure.

Around the county The winding country lanes found throughout Rutland wrap themselves around quiet, unspoilt villages; and there is invariably a cosy pub or quaint tea shop in which to stop off en-route for refreshments.

Around Rutland Water Rutland Water is a haven for cyclists of all ages and abilities. The cycle friendly tracks around the shoreline are generally level and easy to negotiate and the views of the reservoir and beyond are amazing. The kiosks and cafes dotted around are the perfect place to stop off for ice creams and snacks on the way round.

Cycle Hire Rutland Cycling is the primary cycle hire provider in Rutland and has two convenient cycle hire depots at Rutland Water, both open 7 days a week. There will also be more cycle hubs appearing around Rutland in 2013, and a cycle friendly bus to take you to different sections.

Uppingham A traditional weekly market takes place in the town on Fridays, where a range of fresh local fruits, vegetables and cheeses are available.

Renowned for its excellent range of antiques stores, fine art galleries and book shops, visitors are attracted here from far and wide. Uppingham has a character all of its own and those who live in the town are justifiably proud of it. It offers a traditional shopping experience long since lost in larger towns; many of the local shops are still family run and provide a high level of personal service. The majority of Uppingham’s shops can be found on High Street and Market Place but there are lots of other unique retailers hidden away along ancient alleyways which are worth seeking out. This attractive town has an intriguing history and in years gone by it was known as a great centre of entertainment. All manner of spectacles took place including bear baiting and cock fighting, while a car park behind Mercers Yard was once the site of an elephant house and legend has it that an elephant is actually buried beneath it!

Stamford really bustles with life, especially on market day [Friday] when the pavements are packed; eager shoppers flock here in droves to stock up on delicious local veg, locally reared meats and fresh fish; the buzz around the town is quite intoxicating. However, if peace and quiet is more appealing then tranquillity is guaranteed on the banks of the River Welland which winds its way through Stamford enroute to The Wash; take a seat here for a while and admire the birds and wildlife which bring colour and life to this beautiful river they call home. There’s a huge range of attractions in and around Stamford, start with Stamford Arts Centre,home to the Tourist Information Centre as well as theatre/cinema, assembly room and café.

Theatre, Heritage & The Arts The arts are thriving in Rutland; whenever you come to visit there will be something going on – whether you prefer fine art, live music, Shakespeare or comedy, you’ll find it all here…

Theatres Rutland offers a choice of indoor and outdoor theatres! The widely renowned Tolethorpe Hall, home of the much loved Stamford Shakespeare Company, offers magical performances of Shakespearean classics and family favourites in an openair setting. The plays for 2013 are A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Dad’s Army (The Lost Episodes) and The Comedy of Errors. As night falls, Rutland County Museum in Oakham is transformed into a great entertainment venue, playing host to live music, theatre, comedy and cinema. Or if you prefer a more traditional theatre experience head to Uppingham Theatre, which has built an enviable reputation for the quality of its live entertainment. From West End shows to top class symphony orchestras and amazing jazz performances, its events diary is packed all year round. Did you know: The chancel of St Andrews Church in Lyddington, was built with acoustic pots placed in recesses near the tops of the walls in the early 14th century. This amplifies the sound providing splendid acoustics, making it the perfect home for Music in Lyddington, who provide fine music in a regular series of high quality concerts for all to enjoy.

Food & Drink Don’t Miss

Rutland Food & Drink Festival Saturday 14th September 2013 at Rutland Water This wonderful foodie extravaganza in September has grown in recent years to become a popular and much anticipated event in the Rutland calendar. It attracts thousands of visitors who come to try and buy the very best local, seasonal produce direct from the producer. See www.discover-rutland.co.uk for details.

In Rutland, good food is a real passion and the county is widely regarded for its range of quality eateries. While you are here, you’ll savour the delights of some of the best food in the region from some very talented chefs. Award winning restaurants are plentiful; several are holders of one or more AA rosettes and all over the county you are never more than a short hop from the next great place to eat. Many pubs and restaurants go to great lengths to create wonderful seasonal dishes from local ingredients; from pheasant and venison to the best local seasonal fruit and veg, they go the extra mile in their quest to provide the very best food experience for their customers. In fact, there are so many great places to eat, that a whole guide devoted to Food and Drink has been created; pick up a copy of Eat Drink Rutland for more details.

Your guide to quality When you decide to visit Rutland, you’ll want to be assured that the accommodation you’ve chosen to stay in meets the standards you would expect. That’s why, in this guide, you’ll find members of the two nationally recognised quality assurance schemes – The AA and Quality in Tourism. These schemes assess accommodation providers against a rigorous set of national criteria and inspect each property every year to ensure standards are being maintained. We also list businesses that have had the basic assessment ensuring they are ‘Clean, Safe & Legal’. Full accommodation listings can be found on the Discover Rutland website.

Accommodation Ratings made easy ★ Simple, practical, no frills ★★ Well presented and well run ★★★ Good level of quality and comfort ★★★★ Excellent service throughout ★★★★★ Exceptional with a degree of luxury

Star Ratings Quality assured accommodation is graded with stars, except the AA assessed camping and caravanning sites which are graded with pennants. Star ratings are designed to meet the expectations of consumers with regards to quality.

A Guide to the awards Awaiting Grading

If you find this next to a property listing, it means that the property has applied to participate in either The AA or Visit England scheme and is waiting to be assessed.

Michelin Star

A hallmark of fine dining quality, the stars are given annually by Michelin’s anonymous and independent reviewers.

AA Dinner Awards

Awards For Hotels, Guest Accommodation and Self-Catering properties. These awards are given to an establishment in addition to the star rating, and reflect the highest standards of quality in bathrooms, bedrooms and service.

AA & Quality in Tourism Breakfast Awards Properties with these awards offer their guests quality and choice at breakfast combined with service and hospitality which exceeds their star rating.

AA Food Rosettes

Holders of AA rosettes demonstrate a high standard of cooking which sets them apart from other restaurants in their area. They create dishes using quality local ingredients put together with care understanding and skill.

The AA pie symbol indicate a very special dinner with an emphasis on freshly prepared local ingredients.

Walkers, Cyclists, Pets & Families Welcome

Properties with the any of the Welcome logos offer facilities to meet the needs of these visitors e.g. drying facilities for clothes and secure areas for bicycles.

The National Accessible Scheme
