Rutland Water

Beautiful scenery and lots to do, from bike hire, walks, water activities, fishing or trip on board the ferry. The beach is seasonal and very clean. Lots of wildlife. Car park closes at 7pm

Beautidul place for a walk, relax, you can spend all day here. Recomended. Close to peterborough. In a picture Normanton church.

Rutland Water has been on my list of places to go for years...and it didn't disappoint.And absolutely beautiful place - especially as the day was sunny.Will definitely return. Just to visit the water again.

Stunning views, children will love playing in the water but keep a close eye on them. Boat ride available. You can see sheeps if you do the 5k walk. Cycle route available too. Plenty of parking. Take a picnics. Bikes can hired but book in advance.

We had a good time at Rutland water with the kids. We took the kids bikes to tire them out.Plenty of parking with all day rate at a reasonable £12.The pay machines except cash and contact less payments when it works.Toilets are situated at every car park with disabled access and are clean enough considering how many people must use them.Food is available at a price you would expect from here £3 for chips and £5 for sandwiches or bacon cob.The visitors centre is smaller than I expected and sell souvenirs and snacks. You can also play crazy golf at £5 each or 4 for £16. There is also a small park near the visitors centre.I wanted to go on the boat too see the ospreys but they don't run until the back end of May and expect to pay an arm and a leg for it with adults costing £27 each.There is cycle hire but you can take your own if you want to save some money.There is plenty of open area's and a bbq is allowed if off the floor.Dogs are allowed but need to be on a lead though some think this doesn't apply to them.Plenty of wildlife to see if you look for it and some water activities at certain times of the year.We will be going back so I can go on the osprey boat on my own as the wife's not fussed and the kids would probably end up overboard.

Went to a wedding at the norminton church in Rutland water! Was a great day and lovely venue, you can rent electric bikes cheap and lovely cafe on site! Will definitely be returning!

Can relax next to the water or have an adventure around it. Very beautiful. Parking is expensive. Coffee, ice cream and toilets, boating, sailing, bike rental available. Barbeques allowed. Main attraction is the church.
