Rutland OverviewRutland is a landlocked county in the East Midlands, bordered by Leicestershire, Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire and is the smallest historic county in England – just 18 miles long and 17 miles wide at its largest points.
Rutland has a population of just under 40,000 people and only two towns, Uppingham and the county town of Oakham.
Rutland is home to four rivers – Eye Brook, River Chater, River Welland and River Gwash – dammed in the 1970’s to create Rutland Water to enable East Anglia to have access to sufficient water.
Rutland’s location means it is easily accessible from the road network, with the A1 running through the county, making it accessible for large parts of the UK.
