Rutland is a county in the East Midlands and is brimming with beauty. The county has plenty of waterside spots to enjoy, and there are lots of ways you can enjoy Rutlands rivers, reservoirs and lakes. Take a swim, hire a canoe or if you prefer to stay on dry land, make your way over to the Green Reserves in search of the ospreys. A beautiful part of the country, Rutland Water is one of Europe’s largest man made lakes and has so much to explore. If you enjoy browsing in charity shops and spending a leisurely Sunday in the boutiques, head to the market towns of Oakham and Uppingham.
