Rutland is England’s smallest historic county and is often noted for its motto ʺMultum in Parvoʺ (Much in Little). Nestled between Leicestershire and Lincolnshire, its compact size belies its scenic charm, with Rutland Water—one of Europe’s largest artificial lakes—serving as a key attraction. The county town is Oakham, and the area maintains a strong rural character. Governed by the unitary Rutland County Council, it retains both administrative independence and traditional county status.
