Highlights
Our Private Oakham Pub Tour isn’t just a pub tour but also visits some of the oldest and most characterful parts of the market town of Oakham and we will see castles, churches, market squares, and all sorts of other history along the way. A drink for each person in each pub is included in the tour price though of course, soft and sometimes hot drinks are available if preferred. We normally meet outside Oakham Railway Station which is easy for day-trippers from London (also Nottingham, Peterborough, and Leicester) but this tour is also perfect for anyone staying in one of the lovely hotels in Rutland, all just a short taxi ride away. If you’re staying in Oakham itself, I can meet you at your hotel.

Itinerary
See the possibly unique Oakham Castle
Have a drink in this beautiful old pub
Admire this fantastic Grade I listed church whose spire can be seen for miles around.
See the beautiful old Buttermarket and Stocks so best be on your best behaviour!
See the beautiful old Butter Cross and Stocks for old fashioned public punishment!
A very atmospheric old pub set in a beautiful rustic building and widely known for its great food and drink.
It's not often Oakham makes the news, but the unveiling of the first and only memorial statue to the late Queen Elizabeth in April 2024 was that time. Come and see it for yourself. Personally I think the corgis make it!
We finish our tour at this award-winning Tap pub. Oakham has its very own brewery with a fantastic range of drinks right next to the station. It would be rude not to :-)
Possibly the best JD's you'll go to with some interesting history inside too.

About Leicester
Leicester, on the River Soar in the East Midlands, has a Roman wall, a cathedral that holds Richard III's tomb, a space museum and a famed Indian quarter.
Leicester stands on the River Soar in the East Midlands, a city that has been settled since Roman times, when it was the town of Ratae Corieltauvorum. The Jewry Wall, a tall stretch of Roman masonry beside the ruins of a bath house, still rises next to the church of St Nicholas. The cathedral holds the tomb of Richard III, whose remains were found in 2012 beneath a car park nearby and reburied in 2015, and a visitor centre in the old grammar school tells the story.
