Rutland is a relatively unknown gem, situated in the east of
England, north of Cambridgeshire. It doesn't have the high profile of the
Cotswolds and yet it is equally stunning.
The area is renowned for its beautiful Georgian stone-built market towns and
villages, the Burghley Estate with its Capability Brown-designed gardens,
Rutland Water and its beautiful countryside. The area has recently featured in
the films of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, The Da Vinci Code and the BBC's
adaptation of George Eliot's Middlemarch.
two chapel lane is situated in the pretty village of Ketton, just four miles
from the Georgian market town of
Stamford. There are two local pubs, a convenience store (with post office
facilities) and a church; and all just a short stroll away.
Visitors have easy access to a variety of activities and events including
sailing, fishing, bird watching, cycling, golf, concerts and the theatre as well
as cosy pubs and some excellent restaurants. Stamford also offers some great
shopping including stylish boutiques, gift shops and specialist food stores.
Local supermarkets include M&S, Tesco and Waitrose. The popular Burghley Horse Trials take place every September.
