    June is all about getting closer to nature with th June is all about getting closer to nature with the #30DaysWild challenge and there’s no better place to take part than Rutland! 

30 Days Wild is a month-long challenge encouraging people of all ages to connect with nature throughout the month. Whether it’s spotting birds in your garden, enjoying a countryside walk or discovering wildlife at a local nature reserve.

From the peaceful shores of Rutland Water to our beautiful woodlands, meadows and villages, Rutland is the perfect place for wildlife spotting. Keep your eyes peeled for Ospreys, several breeds of wetland, water and migrating wader birds such as Avocets and Curlew or wander the woodlands to hear the dawn chorus. If you're really lucky you may even spot the elusive otters that call the reservoir home!

Ready to go wild this June?

Today and everyday, we are so grateful for everything you do for Discover Rutland and our community.

    Greetham’s history stretches back thousands of yea Greetham’s history stretches back thousands of years. Dominated by the striking broach spire of its medieval church, the village has seen continuous settlement since the Neolithic, Bronze and Iron Ages. Archaeological discoveries, including a Roman pottery kiln, reveal a thriving community long before medieval times. In 1290, King Edward I stayed here as guest of the Earl of Warwick at the Manor House, once surrounded by its own enclosed deer park.

If you’re looking to explore the village, why not visit Greetham Open Gardens on 7th June? Ten beautiful gardens will be opening their gates for a charming day of discovery.

As you’d expect, the food is locally sourced and you’ll always find seasonal dishes on offer. The menu changes frequently to reflect what’s freshest, with a range of delicious dishes such as new-season asparagus, goat’s cheese and lovage tart; slow-braised beef brisket with beef consommé, new potatoes, spring vegetables and wild garlic chimichurri; and a rhubarb and custard trifle for dessert. It’s the perfect excuse for a relaxed countryside lunch or sun-soaked evening meal this spring.
