Town: Braunston is an attractive village just 2 miles from Rutland's market town of Oakham (markets on Wednesdays and Fridays), and 6 miles from Uppingham (market on Fridays) famous for its public school and its most famous pupil Stephen Fry. Braunston has two local pubs, The Old Plough and the Blue Ball (which is the oldest pub in Rutland) both offering first-rate food and ale. Rutland is England's smallest county and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Rutland hosts England's largest man-made lake, Rutland Water, where you can enjoy several activities including fishing, birdwatching, walking, horse riding, cycling, sailing and windsurfing. For children, in addition to cycling, there is an adventure playground, a climbing wall and Bugtopia which has giant insects and exotic reptiles. Braunston is 17 miles from Leicester home to King Richard III's grave and visitor centre, and 14 miles from the Georgian town of Stamford (home to Middlemarch) which has a charming shopping area. Oakham and the surrounding areas have numerous fine restaurants, takeaways and public houses to suit all tastes. Braunston is a wonderful location for exploring this scenic area.
