Oakham, County town in East Midlands, England

Oakham lies within the Vale of Catmose, positioned west of Rutland Water at elevations ranging between 99 and 122 meters above sea level.

The Norman great hall of Oakham Castle, constructed during the late 12th century, functioned as an assize court until its transformation in 1970.

The castle's great hall houses a collection of ceremonial horseshoes, given by nobility visiting the town throughout a 500-year tradition.

The railway station connects to Birmingham and Peterborough lines, while bus services link the town to neighboring Corby and Stamford.

A seven-foot-tall statue of Queen Elizabeth II, funded through local donations, stands on a limestone base in the town center since 2024.

Location: Rutland
