Rutland

"Rutland es una autoridad unitaria de Inglaterra, en el Reino Unido. Limita al oeste y al norte con Leicestershire, al noroeste con Lincolnshire y al sudoeste con Northamptonshire. Es el más pequeño (en términos de área) de las unidades autoritarias normales en el continente inglés (sólo la ciudad de Londres es menor), y es el 345 de los 350 distritos en términos de población. Las dos ciudades principales son Oakham, la capital, y Uppingham. El centro del condado es una gran reserva natural, Rutland Water. La ciudad de Stamford está situada justo en el límite de Lincolnshire. El punto más alto del condado se sitúa en el parque Cold Overton, con una altitud de 197 metros sobre el nivel del mar."

"Rutland /rtlnd/ is a landlocked county in the East Midlands of England, bounded to the west and north by Leicestershire, to the northeast by Lincolnshire and the southeast by Northamptonshire. Its greatest length north to south is only 18 miles (29 km) and its greatest breadth east to west is 17 miles (27 km). It is the smallest historic county in England and the fourth smallest in the UK as a whole. Because of this, the Latin motto Multum in Parvo or "much in little" was adopted by the county council in 1950. It has the smallest population of any normal unitary authority in mainland England and only the City of London is smaller in terms of area. Among modern ceremonial counties the Isle of Wight, City of London and City of Bristol are smaller in area. The former County of London, in existence 1889 to 1965, also had a smaller area. It is 348th of the 354 districts in population. The only towns in Rutland are Oakham, the county town, and Uppingham. At the centre of the county is the large artificial reservoir, Rutland Water, which is an important nature reserve serving as an overwintering site for wildfowl and a breeding site for ospreys. Rutland's older cottages are built from limestone or ironstone and many have roofs of Collyweston stone slate or thatch."
