Rutland County Museum, located on Catmos Street in Oakham, is the perfect introduction to the smallest county in England.
Lovingly restored and at the head of a tree lined avenue, The Barnsdale located to the North of Oakham, has undergone a recent refurbishment and is now the newest addition to The Signet Collection.
Originally created by Geoff Hamilton for the Gardeners’ World TV show, Barnsdale is home to 38 pocket-sized, themed garden ‘rooms’, built in his trademark, practical style, and full of inspiration for garden-lovers of all ages. Go for great ideas for your own outside spaces or simply have fun exploring- there magical hidden corners, ponds full of tadpoles and newts, and an allotment with chickens and giant organically grown veg.
