If you have 2 days to spend in Rutland, here are some suggestions:
- Visit Rutland Water, where you can walk, cycle, or even try your hand at watersports. This can take a full day, depending on how much you want to do.
- Check out Rutland County Museum to learn more about the area's history. This typically takes 1-2 hours.
- Take a stroll through Oakham, the county town of Rutland, and see the iconic Buttercross monument. This can take a few hours, depending on how much you want to explore.
- Stop by Lyddington Bede House, a historic building that was once a medieval palace. This typically takes 1-2 hours.
- Book a tour of one of the local breweries, such as Oakham Ales or Grainstore Brewery. This typically takes a few hours.
For places to stay, consider the Barnsdale Hall Hotel, which is located right on the shores of Rutland Water, or the Old Wisteria Hotel in Oakham for a more traditional English experience.
