Situation

The village of Lyddington is highly attractive being set on the Rutland border and yet providing easy access to neighbouring conurbations. It receives good mention in Sir Nikolaus Pevsner’s Authoritative Guide to the Buildings of England who describes it as “a secluded village, a harmony of ironstone houses and cottages”. The surrounding area is rural with many scenic walks and bridleways. Lyddington has two public houses, which include The Marquess of Exeter and Old White Hart. Of historical note is the English Heritage Medieval Bede House, formerly a bishop’s palace and originally moated.

Communications in the area are excellent with A47 trunk road connecting the cities of Leicester and Peterborough, some three miles to the north, whilst one mile to the west lies the A6003 providing good road access to the town of Kettering, where mainline rail services connect with London St Pancras International in under the hour.

There is a wide range of outstanding schooling within easy reach of the village including independent schools in Uppingham, Oakham, Oundle and Stamford. The nearby market town of Uppingham, with a weekly market, provides a good range of everyday shopping facilities. The market towns of Oakham and Stamford provide further extensive shopping facilities.

There are numerous leisure facilities in the area: Rutland Water is set to the north, between Uppingham and Oakham. This provides sailing, fishing, scenic walks, windsurfing and the Rutland Water cycle route. Golf is available at Luffenham Heath and Greetham Valley golf clubs.
