Whissendine is a small, characterful village and civil parish in Rutland, England, set in rolling agricultural countryside not far from county towns such as Oakham and the handsome market town of Stamford. The settlement retains a strong sense of place with stone cottages, a village green and a conservation character, giving it the appearance of a traditional East Midlands village.
Locally the community is active, centred on the parish church, village hall, school and pub, and the economy remains largely rural with farming alongside a number of residents who commute to nearby towns. Historic interest is evident in the church and several listed buildings, and the wider landscape offers pleasant walking and wildlife-watching opportunities that attract visitors looking for a quiet taste of provincial England.
