Secret Rutland

Rutland is at the very heart of England. It is England's smallest historic county, less than 20 miles in distance from north to south or east to west, a patchwork of incredibly picturesque and peaceful villages. At its center is Rutland Water, by surface area the largest reservoir in the country covering more than 3000 acres of land, which has matured over the past 30 years into a sanctuary for wildlife and a major tourist attraction. Secret Rutland goes behind the faades of the familiar to discover the lesser-known parts of the county's long and illustrious past.
