'''Rutland''', occasionally known as '''Rutlandshire''', is a county in south-central England. The county is bound by [[Leicestershire]] to the north and west, [[Lincolnshire]] to the north east, and [[Northamptonshire]] to the south. For the purposes of statistics, the county forms a part of the [[East Midlands]]. Rutland is the smallest county in England, a fact reflected in its motto ''multum in parvo'' (Latin for "much in little"). The county town is [[Oakham]].

'''Rutland''', occasionally known as '''Rutlandshire''', is a county in south-east [[Midlands]] of England. The county is bound by [[Leicestershire]] to the north and west, [[Lincolnshire]] to the north east, and [[Northamptonshire]] to the south. For the purposes of statistics, the county forms a part of the [[East Midlands]]. Rutland is the smallest county in England, a fact reflected in its motto ''multum in parvo'' (Latin for "much in little"). The county town is [[Oakham]].
Despite its small size, Rutland is a highly popular county, owing to its handsome towns, characterised by stone-built houses with thatched roofs. Rutland is also home to Rutland Water, a large reservoir (the largest by surface-area in England) built in the 1970s that provides water to much of the East Midlands. The A1 road also passes through Rutland.

==Administration==
Rutland lends its name to [[Rutland County Council]], a unitary authority whose boundaries are almost completely identical to the county proper. However, the county and the county council area are legally distinct from each other.
