Whissendine is a village and civil parish in Rutland, England, north-west of the county town, Oakham.

This includes a 6-mile run, a UK Athletics licensed race,[11] the Feast week extravaganza, the knockout and the fete on the green.

The village is on the Rutland Round, the circular walk around Britain's smallest county.

[13] Richard Kettle (1813 - 1915), born in Whissendine, was an early farming pioneer in Helidon, Queensland, Australia, with his family.

His family may have emigrated to Australia when, after the death of Lord Harborough, the estate, with the village, was split up in 1861 and the tenants had the opportunity to buy their farms and cottages.

[14] British photo colouriser and model maker Tom Marshall grew up in the village.
