Location
The Conservation Village of Empingham is highly desirable and lies just a mile's walk from Rutland Water's beach and headwall.

Empingham caters for most daily village amenities. There is a village shop, a public house, The White Horse, a medical centre and primary school.

The village is also 5 miles equidistant between the bustling market towns of Oakham and Stamford, both of which offer a variety of facilities, as well as a number of excellent schools, including the independent Stamford Endowed Schools and Oakham School. Uppingham, with its school and independent shops, is little further, 9 miles from the village.

Rutland is well connected by road, with the A1 Stamford bypass four miles to the east, with mainline rail services to London Kings Cross from 46 mins from Peterborough (18 miles), or from Stamford Station to Cambridge and London Stansted Airport, from an hour.
