Rutland, Ceremonial county in East Midlands, England
Rutland extends across 382 square kilometers of rolling hills between Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire, and Northamptonshire, with Oakham as its main town.
The territory of Rutland first appeared in records in 1159 and developed from an area of oak woodland into a separate county through Saxon settlements.
The county maintains traditional agricultural practices and hosts regular markets in its two principal towns, Oakham and Uppingham, which are known for their schools.
Rutland Water, constructed in the 1970s, supplies water to neighboring regions while providing opportunities for fishing, sailing, and bird watching activities.
Local sandstone quarries near Ketton supplied high-quality building materials that shaped the architectural character of churches and buildings across the county.
