Grimsthorpe Castle near the market town of Bourne was built in the 13th Century and is the centrepiece of a 3,000 acre park of rolling pastures, landscaped lakes and historic woodland and also includes a medieval deer park.
Stamford is known as the 'best stone town in England'. It is architecturally outstanding with medieval buildings and Georgian streets and squares. On the edge of the town lies Burghley House, well known as the largest and grandest house of the first Elizabethan Age.

Rutland Water, the largest man made lake in Western Europe covers 3,100 acres and has an international reputation for providing a balance of sport, leisure and wildlife conservation and offers everyone the opportunity to try something new. The area impresses with its charming and picturesque villages. Rutland remains a predominantly agricultural county as can be seen by the rolling hills and flower filled meadows.

In the 1970's, Rutland lost its independence as a county, and became part of Leicestershire. This change was fiercely opposed by many, but remained so until 1997, when Rutland regained its independence.
