Why choose Rutland for your road trip

Rutland — a city worth exploring

Rutland Water, England's largest reservoir by surface area, stretches across 1,255 hectares and draws visitors year-round for cycling, sailing, and birdwatching. As the smallest historic county in England, Rutland packs a remarkable amount into its compact landscape. The market town of Oakham, the county town, is home to Oakham Castle, which houses a unique collection of ceremonial horseshoes dating back over 900 years. Nearby, Normanton Church stands picturesquely on the southern shore of Rutland Water, partially submerged when the reservoir was filled in 1975. The Rutland Water Nature Reserve, managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, is one of the most important wildfowl sanctuaries in the UK and played a key role in the reintroduction of ospreys to England. Stamford, a beautiful Georgian stone town, lies just 16 km to the east, while the city of Leicester is roughly 35 km to the west, making Rutland an ideal base for wider exploration. The county's quiet lanes and gentle rolling countryside are perfectly suited to touring by campervan or motorhome, with minimal traffic and easy navigation even for larger vehicles. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners across the East Midlands, giving you a more personal, flexible start to your Rutland adventure.

Best time to visit

Rutland is a wonderful destination from spring through to autumn. May and June bring wildflower meadows and nesting ospreys at Rutland Water, while the Rutland County Show in June is a highlight of the local calendar. Summer is ideal for watersports and cycling around the reservoir. Booking a campervan through Yescapa during the quieter months of April or September means you can enjoy competitive peer-to-peer hire rates and find pitches at popular campsites with ease. The Rutland Round cycling sportive in September is another great reason to visit later in the season.

Frequently asked questions

What our users say about our campervans and motorhomes in Rutland

Dermot
5 / 5

Patricia and Jorge were great, waiting at the airport when we arived and waiting 30mins at the return when we took a wrong turn. Helpful and friendly. Signed off the return easily and quickly. The van has character and plenty of Km but it was in perfect running order. I'd have no problem hiring from them again.

Nicolas
5 / 5

Frederick was lovely and the van was super. A lot of storage for a van plus a screen that separates the toilet from the shower which is much less of a mess. Big fridge and good cooking area and sink. The water pressure is very good so when you shower you get a really good pressure, having said that prepare to top up your water tank frequently. Lovely trip and a really well equipped and user friendly van layout would rent again!
