A Town Bursting with History and Charm - No one who visits Oakham can deny the beauty of the landscape. The town is saturated in charm, and a fantastic way to explore it is on foot. Start your tour with a visit to the Rutland County Museum on Catmos Street. Entry is free, and the exhibits cover the region’s history from the Jurassic period to medieval times and beyond. Stroll around town to see the recently-restored Oakham Castle as well as the buildings of Oakham School. Markets are held every Wednesday and Saturday in the pedestrianised Market Square, and there is a Farmers’ Market on the third Saturday of the month on Gaol Street. Even if you miss the market day, there is a fantastic choice of places serving seasonal local produce, including Otters Smokehouse & Deli where you can dine in or take away local cheese, charcuterie and ale to enjoy on a picnic or back at the holiday cottage.
A Delight to Explore - The area around Oakham is a pleasure to explore, especially on foot or by bicycle. Fantastic footpaths lead to views so serene and beautiful that you may find yourself pondering the feasibility of a move to the Rutland countryside. Rutland is so small that its circumference measures only 65 miles with the Rutland Round footpath covering the distance. Other long-distance trails in Rutland include the 64-mile Melton Round and the 80-mile long Uppingham Round, both of which pass within easy reach of Oakham and give stunning views. Closer to home, the Oakham Heritage Trail is a favourite with locals and visitors.
If you prefer to sightsee from the comfort of your car then consider driving along the scenic Rutland Water Trail, Bishop’s Eye Trail, Forgotten Rutland Trail and the curiously-named Lost and Gone Trail.
Rutland Water, a Holiday Destination in its Own Right - Just outside of Oakham, Rutland Water is an outdoor lover’s paradise. As the biggest constructed lake in England, and one of the largest in Europe, it offers a wealth of opportunities to sail, fish, walk, cycle and birdwatch, among other fun activities. The lake sits in 3,000 acres of countryside and is a top choice for a family day out.
Multum in Parvo - Despite its size, there is plenty to keep everyone happily occupied on a self-catering cottage holiday in Oakham, no matter what the season. Day trips can include Upphingham, Burghley House, Rockingham Castle, Belvoir Castle, the ancient city of Cambridge, Lincoln Cathedral, Leicester and Grantham.
You will love your time spent in Oakham. The charming town has the captivating sensation of stepping back in time, yet there is nothing backward about it. Being in the Midlands makes it easy to reach from most parts of England, including the South East. Rutland has a full calendar of events that caters to all tastes and includes highlights such as the Rutland Food and Drink Festival and the Burghley Horse Trials. Just as it has for countless other holidaymakers, Oakham could soon become one of your favourite getaway destinations.
