Essendine is a small village and civil parish in the county of Rutland, sitting close to the Lincolnshire border and a few miles from the historic market town of Stamford. It occupies a quiet, rural spot beside the valley of the River Gwash and is crossed by the East Coast Main Line - the line still passes through though trains no longer call at the former village station - a reminder of its past importance as a modest railway junction.
The village retains a traditional rural character, with stone cottages, a medieval parish church and surrounding farmland; agriculture remains a key part of the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns. It attracts walkers and local history enthusiasts who enjoy the peaceful landscape, historic buildings and the sense of a close-knit community typical of north Rutland.
