Uppingham, in Rutland (the UKs smallest county), recently featured in The Sunday Times Best Places to Live Guide 2022. It was voted the best place to live in the Midlands "Beauty runs more than skin deep in this sophisticated little market town, where the houses are attractive and the high street has everything you need. The biggest star, though, is the Goldmark art gallery, one of the best outside a capital city, whose exhibitions regularly feature works by artists you’d normally have to take a city break to see."
