Cottesmore anchors the limestone plateau of Rutland, where the horizon broadens into an expansive, open sky. It lies 4.0 miles north-east of Oakham (from Oakham: bearing 42°T, OS grid SK 902 135), and is situated south-east of Barrow village. The Cottesmore Village Sign stands as a solitary sentinel, marking the threshold where the stone-built lanes meet the persistent winds of the East Midlands. Beneath the surface of the surrounding fields, the earth guards the quiet ghosts of the Alstoe Moot and Part Of Alsthorpe Deserted Medieval Village, where the contours of ancient life remain etched into the soil. St Mary’s Church rises with a stoic, grey dignity, anchoring the spirit of Cottesmore against the shifting patterns of the seasons. Nearby, the waters of Ry Gate Lake catch the pale, northern light, reflecting a stillness that contrasts with the rhythmic clatter of industry once defined by the region's railway history. These limestone walls carry the salt-flecked memory of centuries, enduring while the quiet lanes trace the same paths trodden by generations of labourers and shepherds. Through the changing light of an afternoon, the landscape reveals a stark, unadorned beauty that demands nothing more than a steady gaze.
