South Luffenham is a small village in the county of Rutland, lying in the gentle, rural landscape of the East Midlands. It sits beside the meandering River Chater and is immediately adjacent to North Luffenham, with the county town of Oakham and the market town of Stamford within easy reach.
The village has historic, largely medieval roots and retains traditional stone cottages and a compact community feel; the local economy is still strongly influenced by farming alongside commuters and countryside pursuits such as walking and equestrian activities. Interest is added by the nearby former airfield at RAF North Luffenham, which reflects the area’s 20th‑century military history and changing land use.
