Barrow
Barrow is a delightful hamlet situated to the north east of Oakham between Cottesmore and Market Overton. This is a village set on the side of an escarpment and enjoys west facing views over the open countryside beyond. Main facilities are available in the adjoining villages of Market Overton and Cottesmore including a junior school, shops, doctors surgery and some sporting facilities. For all other facilities these are available in Oakham just a few miles away.
Commuting from the village is ideal as it is within easy driving distance of a number of centres including Leicester, Peterborough, Melton Mowbray, Kettering and Corby and is within a few minutes drive of the A1 Great North Road. There is also a British Rail station in Oakham and this links into Peterborough where there is a frequent train service to London Kings Cross, that journey taking approximately 50 minutes.
Leisure activities in the area are many and varied with country rambles or horse rides and sports including golf, football, tennis, bowls etc., all available within the vicinity.
