Braunston-in-Rutland is a small village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in England, set among the rolling farmland a short drive east of Uppingham and within easy reach of Rutland Water. It retains a distinctly rural character of stone cottages, hedgerowed lanes and open fields, offering quiet countryside views rather than urban bustle.
Historically of medieval origin with an enduring agricultural base, the village today combines farming with a number of residents who commute to nearby market towns such as Oakham. The local church and village hall help sustain a small but active community, and there is a noticeable focus on conservation and landscape that reflects Rutland’s wider appeal for wildlife and outdoor recreation.
