Discover Rutland
You could be forgiven for thinking that Rutland, the smallest county in the UK, doesn’t have a lot to shout about. But we know differently. It’s packed full of fascinating history, world-famous wildlife, creative talent, artisan bakers, wholesome food producers, stunning landscapes, exciting sports and one of the largest collection of entrepreneurs you’ll find in England!
Over recent years there has been a resurgence in the demand for locally produced food and drink and faster broadband access has allowed rural businesses to reach out to worldwide markets. Whilst rural businesses can often suffer from different pressures to their city-based cousins, technology has helped to close the gaps between them and created strong relationships between supply and demand.
