This Volunteers’ Week, we want to give a massive shout out to our incredible Discover Rutland Committee and Discover Rutland Ambassadors.

Not all are pictured here, but every single one of our volunteers makes a huge difference by giving up their time to support, promote and champion our wonderful little county.

Our dedicated committee have shaped Discover Rutland into what it is today; from organising projects and planning events to spreading the word about everything Rutland has to offer, their commitment to Rutland makes such a huge difference.

Each year when show season rolls round, our team of ambassadors pull out all the stops to support us while we travel across the country. Their wealth of knowledge, pride and enthusiasm for the county shines and inspires people to discover everything we have to offer.

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.

There’s a new spring menu at The Sun Inn at Great Easton.

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.

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 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.
