Manton is a small rural village and civil parish in Rutland, England, set in the county’s characteristic rolling farmland and woods. It lies close to the county town of Oakham and within easy reach of Rutland Water, giving residents ready access to walking, birdwatching and watersports in an otherwise quiet landscape.
The village has a distinctly historic, agricultural feel with traditional stone cottages and farmsteads; agriculture and rural enterprises remain important locally, while many people commute to nearby towns for work. Socially it tends to be a tight‑knit community with village events and a low‑key rural rhythm rather than a busy commercial centre, making it typical of small villages across Rutland.
