About

Lyddington ward encompasses the village of Lyddington and the smaller hamlet of Belmesthorpe, situated in the northeastern corner of Rutland. The area is characterised by agricultural land and the course of the River Gwash, which flows to the east. The built environment consists primarily of traditional limestone cottages and houses, reflecting the local geology and historical building practices. The overall landscape is one of rural settlement within a working farmland setting.

The village centre is a designated Conservation Area, with its linear layout following the historic ridge route. A notable feature is the Bede House, a medieval palace of the Bishops of Lincoln later converted into almshouses, which stands as a significant historical structure. Community life includes a parish church, a village hall, and a public house. The ward maintains a quiet, residential character distinct from the more visitor-focused Rutland Water area to the west.
