The small village and civil parish of Greetham sits in the rolling countryside of Rutland in the East Midlands of England, a few miles north of Oakham. It occupies mixed limestone and clay farmland with quiet lanes and long views over the county; Rutland Water is within easy reach, which helps make the area popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
Greetham has a compact historic core of stone cottages and a parish church of medieval origin, and its local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. The village retains a strong community spirit through village-hall activities, clubs and occasional fairs, giving it a quietly enduring rural character.
