South Luffenham is a small rural parish in Rutland, England, made up of an intimate cluster of stone and brick cottages set among arable fields and hedgerows. The village has medieval origins and a compact historic core, and sits close to its neighbour North Luffenham and within easy reach of the county market towns of Oakham and Uppingham.
Farming still shapes the surrounding landscape, though many residents now commute to nearby towns; a historic military presence in the area has also influenced the local economy at times. Social life is typical of small Rutland villages, centred on local gatherings, the church and village events, with good opportunities for walking, wildlife-watching and other country pursuits.
