Rutland is often described as "England's best kept secret", only 20 miles across, featuring neat, honeystone villages nestling in gentle, rolling hills, at the heart of which lies England's largest lake, Rutland Water.
Uppingham itself is a vibrant, stone market town with a renowned public school, specialist shops and galleries, pubs, theatre and good local arts, conveniently located to take advantage of the many outstanding nearby visitor attractions.
For those seeking to "get away from it all", Uppingham offers the perfect retreat.
