Exton is a small, picturesque village in the county of Rutland in England, set in rolling agricultural countryside and closely associated with the historic parkland of Exton Park and the imposing house of Exton Hall. The village has the feel of an estate settlement, with traditional stone cottages and lanes that make it popular with walkers and people passing through to the nearby reservoir and nature areas.
Historically the village has been shaped by the local landowning family, whose memorials and influence are visible in the parish church and local landscape, while today the economy is largely rural with a touch of tourism thanks to proximity to Rutland Water, good birdwatching, and country pursuits; community life remains quiet and rooted in the agricultural rhythms of the county.
