Tickencote is a small village and civil parish in the county of Rutland in the East Midlands of England.

The boundary with Great Casterton to the B1081 junction is one field's width north-east of the A1, running parallel to the carriageways, passing the eastern edge of Tickencote Warren farm.

It passes northwards along the eastern edge of Chapel Field Spinney again crossing the Rutland Round.

National Cycle Route 63[3] also passes through the village, from Cross Roads Farm, then along the B1081, and onwards to Stamford.

The area is also known as Roundstone Hill, and is situated in the former quarry of Upper Lincolnshire oolitic limestone.

Other species found include Horseshoe Vetch, yellow-wort, Autumn Gentian, and common thyme.

[8][9] John Clare, when working as a lime burner, used to drink at the Flowerpot Inn, which is now the private house, Flower Pot Cottage (former Stonecroft).

On 11 August 1971 the section of dual carriageway north of Tickencote to The Fox at South Witham, was opened by Earl Gainsborough, Chairman of Rutland County Council, at the B1081 junction.

The section was 8.5 miles (13.7 km) long, took two years to build by Turriff Construction, and cost £2.3 million.
