North Luffenham

North Luffenham is a delightful village virtually in the centre of Rutland and ideally located for commuting to a number of centres including Oakham, Uppingham and Stamford, with towns and cities further afield such as Peterborough, Kettering, Corby, Leicester, Melton Mowbray. It is not far from the A1 Great North Road (approx 4 miles), and this affords good driving to a number of other locations. There are also railway stations at Oakham and Stamford with connections to the Midlands, together with a good service to Peterborough and from there are many trains to London.
Within the region itself are a number of facilities including a church, two public houses, bowls and cricket clubs. Other facilities are available in adjoining villages such as shops, doctors surgery etc., but for weekly shopping Stamford, Oakham and Uppingham are handy where there are a good range of shops catering for most needs.
The schools in the area are many and varied. In addition to the village school for juniors there are buses which collect them for further education and of course a good range of private schools throughout the district. Sporting facilities too are many and varied with a number of golf courses, rugby clubs, tennis clubs etc. Rutland Water is also only a few minutes drive away and there one can enjoy sailing, fishing or just a stroll around the lake.
