Rutland Water

Rutland Water is the Playground of the East Midlands with Water Sports, Nature Reserves, Outdoor Adventure Centre, Cycling & Walking

Rutland Water has an internationally respected reputation for fantastic sailing, trout fishing and bird watching and numerous competitions and events for these sports take place at the reservoir throughout the year. 

The reservoir also caters expertly for visitors, and beginners or novices are welcome to try any number of exhilarating activities during a holiday in Rutland.  Have lessons in fly fishing, sailing, kayaking & windsurfing, professional instruction is only as phone call away.  Or bring your own equipment and enjoy your favourite watersport in the picturesque surroundings.

In addition, the reservoir has a 25-mile shoreline, featuring a civilised circular track around which a pleasant day can be spent cycling or walking around the water. There are also 2 centres for the Rutland Water nature reserve – the Anglian Water Bird Watching Centre in Egleton and Lyndon Nature Reserve, great bases to start to explore the nature and wildlife around the water.

Away from action packed sports, the attractive setting of the reservoir in 3,100 acres of countryside, lends itself perfectly to a relaxing summers picnic spot, a leisurely stroll along the shore or a nap in a deck chair. If you enjoy an outdoor picnic, Rutland Water has plenty of picnic tables around the key sites.

You can enjoy activities all year round with an Anglian Water Activity Pass for a family of upto 5. You benefit from free parking, a range of admissions & discounts on attractions, activities, retail & tuition across Anglian Water water parks. To view full details on the Activity Pass click here.
