The Situation
Horninghold is a striking conservation village lying in the upper Welland Valley, with the Rutland market town of Uppingham set 4 miles to the north-east and the Rutland town of Oakham a short distance beyond, as well as the historic market town of Market Harborough only a short distance away.

The principal part of the village appears remarkably laid out with a number of large houses, the grounds of which are well landscaped. Parts of the village date back to the 16th and 17th century, whilst extensive harmonisation was carried out during the early part of the 20th century by the Hardcastle family of Blaston Hall, with great thought given to the orientation and architecture of the main houses.

The major commercial centres of Leicester and Peterborough are set to the west and east respectively with both providing comprehensive services including main line rail links to London St Pancras and Kings Cross. Schooling in the area is outstanding, with excellent public schools at Uppingham, Oakham, Stamford and Oundle, with local preparatory schools Maidwell Hall, Spratton Hall and Stoneygate providing good feeders for these.

The village is particularly well surrounded by open countryside and offers the opportunity for excellent country pursuits. With water sports on Rutland Water, fishing on the Eyebrook, polo at Oakham, and golf at Market Harborough, South Luffenham, Stamford and Melton Mowbray. Racing is at Leicester, Southall, Nottingham and Huntingdon. The village sits in Fernie country, with Cottesmore, the Quorn and Woodland Pytchley are within easy boxing distance.
