Vehicle Transport in Rutland
Rutland is England's smallest historic county — but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character. Oakham, Uppingham, and the vast expanse of Rutland Water dominate this rural gem. The A1 runs along the eastern edge, giving good access from the south. At about 200 miles from Devon, Rutland is at the boundary between a long same-day run and a two-day operation — we recommend two days for driver comfort.
Smallest County, Easiest Coverage
At just 147 square miles, Rutland is tiny — but we cover every inch. Oakham, Uppingham, the villages around Rutland Water — nothing is more than 15 minutes from anything else.
A1 Corridor Access
The A1 runs along Rutland's eastern boundary — Stamford is just south, and the A606 takes you into Oakham. Good road access for such a rural county.
Rutland Water Area
The reservoir dominates the county — and many collections are from the villages and sailing clubs around it. Beautiful countryside, good roads.
Oakham & Uppingham
The two market towns — Oakham with its castle and horseshoes, Uppingham with its famous school. Both are small, historic, and easy to navigate.
A47 East-West
The A47 runs east-west just north of Rutland, connecting to Leicester and Peterborough. An alternative route when the A1 is congested.
Fox Country
Rutland and the surrounding area is prime fox-hunting country (now trail hunting). Land Rovers, Range Rovers, and horseboxes are the local vehicles of choice — and we transport them all.
