Rutland County and the village of Wing

​

​

The Chapel is in Wing, a modest traditional village within the glorious Rutland countryside. The local pub - The King's Arms - is just a few minutes walk and excellent for food and drink. Wing is situated between the county town of Oakham and the nearby town of Uppingham, both being historic market towns. Each town and the villages which surround them are of much interest from an historical and architectural point of view as well as the many independent specialist shops, museums, art galleries, hostelries, garden nurseries, restaurants, cafes and tea rooms. In Wing you will find The Kings Arms Inn and Restaurant, less than a 3 minute walk from the door, which provides locally sourced food and ale alongside roaring open fires and a short walk to the edge of the village you’ll find yourself at Wing Hall where you can sample the delights of the Farm and Village Shop. On Sundays you can enjoy afternoon tea at the village hall and various attractions throughout the year.

The South Shore of Rutland Water is well within a 10 minute car journey with easy access to its various attractions such as sailing and water sports facilities, cycle tracks, bird-watching, fishing lodge, walking, climbing wall, reptile and bug zoo, crazy golf etc, etc. Both Nature Reserves are only 5-10 minutes away by car. It is possible to walk through the fields to the Lyndon Reserve from The Chapel. 

The Rutland countryside’s highways and byways are ideal for cycling and walking alike and there is a multitude of footpaths and bridleways which crisscross the agricultural land between the towns, villages and hamlets.

For fishing, walking and cycling, the Eye Brook reservoir is a 13 minute drive and Wakerley Woods is 15 minutes away.

A 20 minute drive hop across the border into Lincolnshire will see you in Stamford with its nearby Burghley House famed for the Burghley Horse Trials, being the back drop to many period dramas, its gardens and its historical architectural interest. Northamptonshire with it's stately homes and gardens including Rockingham Castle only 20 mins away is also easily accessible from The Chapel.

There are various golf courses throughout the county from the historic Luffenham Heath Golf Club (15 mins away) to the newer Rutland Water (10 mins away) and Greetham Valley Golf Courses (25-30 mins).
