Ridlington Attractions

 
From here, the many attractions of Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire are easily reached. Rutland itself is one of England’s unknown gems, having been described by Sir John Betjeman as having ...’all the charm of the Cotswolds without its ostentation.’ (and traffic). The smallest county in England, Rutland is a microcosm of rural England. Every village is delightful and no county has as many beautiful churches. There are numerous walks to be taken in the gently rolling countryside and many excellent pubs in the area.

Local attractions include Rutland Water, which caters for all interests; walking, cycling, sailing, fishing, bird watching. Also close by is the smaller Eyebrook Water used by 617 Squadron to rehearse the famous Dambuster Raid. Here there is excellent fishing in a glorious setting.

The outstanding Georgian town of Stamford and nearby Burghley House, host to the famous Horse Trials, is an easy drive away. Stamford has been described as the most perfectly preserved Georgian town in the country and was used for the filming of the television costume dramas ‘Middlemarch’ and ‘Pride and Prejudice’.

Only 3 miles from Ridlington is The famous Bede House, situated in Lyddington village, with rows of pretty limestone cottages. One famous attraction in Lyddington is the 15th century Bede House, originally the medieval palace for the Bishop’s of Lincoln. A grand medieval residence constructed largely in the 15th century, and accommodating many influential occupants until 1547 when the property was seized by the church.
