Rutland, England packs big character into gentle miles, from the broad shoreline of Rutland Water to the market-town streets of Oakham and the ridge-and-valley farmland around Uppingham. Follow stretches of the Rutland Round, loop out through Empingham, Greetham, Exton, or Whitwell, and you get a county of limestone villages, open skies, and easy walking with a strong sense of place.
