Ridlington is a small village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside, it comprises a compact settlement of traditional stone cottages and a parish church, with surrounding farmland and hedgerows typical of the county’s landscape.
With historic roots stretching back many centuries, Ridlington retains a strong village identity: a small, close‑knit population, local gatherings and occasional fetes, and an economy still influenced by farming alongside residents who commute to nearby market towns such as Oakham and Uppingham. Its quietly rural character and easy access to the rest of Rutland make it a good example of the county’s enduring village life.
