Built in the 1970s to supply water to the East Midlands and
originally named 'Empingham reservoir', Rutland Water is now
Rutland's most popular tourist attraction, offering activities for
all ages. The attractive 3,100 acre reservoir has an international
reputation for providing a balance of sport, leisure and wildlife
conservation and offers everyone the opportunity to try something
new. You can try sports such as windsurfing, rock-climbing or
canoeing, hire a dinghy, bicycle or fishing boat, visit the Egleton
and Lyndon nature reserves, or just relax by the water and watch the
action around the 25 mile shoreline. Use the links on the left to
browse information about the activities and attractions at Rutland
Water or visit
