    Surrounded by a landscape of fields and woodland, Surrounded by a landscape of fields and woodland, the village of Exton has been described as one of the prettiest in Rutland with attractive 18th and 19th-century thatched ironstone buildings grouped loosely around a shaded village green.

The village is dominated by Exton Hall with its Old Hall ruins, extensive formal grounds, garden follies, stone boundary walls, entrance lodges and gates. Nearby, the restored medieval parish church contains many outstanding 16th to 18th century family monuments.

Away from the village centre, the modern fields contain evidence of their past life as the extensive landscaped grounds associated with the country house and seat of the Noel family. The ornamental lakes, avenues of trees, and garden follies give a glimpse of the past splendour of a 17th/18th-century country house and its landscaped park. 

If you want to explore Exton further, why not pick up one of our Fields & Follies Heritage Trails.

    Rutland Water turns 50 What began in 1976 as a ma Rutland Water turns 50

What began in 1976 as a major engineering project to create a reservoir for the East Midlands has grown into one of the UK’s most beautiful outdoor spaces.

Today, it is a vibrant landscape of open water, wildlife and countryside, offering activities such as sailing, cycling and walking, as well as exceptional birdwatching and world class fishing.

Rutland Water has also been awarded both Blue Flag and Green Flag status, with its Sykes Lane beach becoming the first inland bathing site in England to receive Blue Flag recognition, highlighting its excellent water quality and visitor facilities. This incredible achievement means it is also the only Blue Flag site located within a Green Flag awarded site in the country.

    Eyebrook Reservoir isn’t just a beautiful spot for Eyebrook Reservoir isn’t just a beautiful spot for a peaceful walk or a day of trout fishing, it’s a place where history was made.

Built between 1937–1940 to support the nearby steel industry, this tranquil water now offers stunning views, rich wildlife and the perfect escape into nature. But there’s more beneath the surface…

During WWII, Eyebrook became a secret training ground for No. 617 Squadron RAF, led by Guy Gibson, as they prepared for the legendary Operation Chastise.

Today, you can stand by the water, take in the calm surroundings and imagine the roar of aircraft skimming across the surface before one of the most daring missions in history.

Discover Rutland; where there’s a story around every corner.

    At Oakham Castle, a quirky tradition has stood for At Oakham Castle, a quirky tradition has stood for centuries. When a peer of the realm visited, they were expected to leave a horseshoe as a token of respect to the Lord of the Manor. This unusual tradition continues today, with over 240 elaborate ceremonial horseshoes lining the castle’s Great Hall walls.

Some historians link the custom to the de Ferrers family, whose name comes from the French word for a farrier and whose emblem featured horseshoes.

The oldest surviving horseshoe was given by King Edward IV in 1470 and the most recent in 2024 by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Prince Edward and Sophie.
