YOUR LOCAL HOLIDAY GUIDE
Things to do in Rutland
Rutland Water
Choose the visitor area and activity that suit your group rather than treating the reservoir as one single attraction. Check the relevant operator for cycle hire, water activities and current access information.
Oakham
Oakham offers historic streets and a useful town-centre stop. Combine browsing with a local heritage visit or a shorter outing, leaving a more active reservoir day for better weather.
Uppingham
Uppingham’s market-town setting provides a different shopping and café day. It is a useful contrast to time spent around the water and surrounding countryside.
Local shops, food & places to browse
Oakham and Uppingham are the main starting points for food shopping and independent businesses. Check market dates and individual shops if you want local produce for a self-catering meal.
Planning your holiday in Rutland
The full reservoir circuit is a different commitment from a short waterside stroll. Check distance, surfaces, access points and activity booking requirements before choosing your day’s plan.
Choosing where to stay
Compare the holiday home’s location with the particular part of Rutland Water you intend to use most.
Before you book, check the advert’s address, sleeping arrangements, park facilities and any extra charges with the owner. Use the search filters for features such as decking, a hot tub or a washing machine, and park facilities such as a pool or clubhouse.
