Discover Set in 4200 acres of open countryside, Rutland Water lies at the very heart of the county and is as spectacular in beauty as it is in size. Created in the 1970’s to meet an ever increasing demand for water, nowadays it’s widely regarded as a leading centre for water and land based leisure activities and has year round appeal for fishermen, cyclists, sailors and bird watchers. Whether you bring the family, come on your own, or in a group, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Convenient cafes and ice cream kiosks are dotted around the shore and the Information Centre at Sykes Lane, Empingham can advise you on how to get the most out of this magnificent place.

Walking Cycling

Walking

Rutland is a wonderful place for walking all year round and each season brings its own palette of colours to the rolling countryside. The landscape in spring is spectacular - lush green fields and bright yellow daffodils along with lots of spring lambs of course, all create the idyllic rural picture. The arrival of summer brings wonderfully long days perfect for getting out and exploring the countryside, whilst autumn’s reds and golds signal the coming of the cooler weather and create some of the most captivating countryside scenes. Finally winter takes its turn, transforming the county into a picturesque winter wonderland with stunningly crisp, frosty scenes.

Ospreys Rutland Water is known as being the home of the English Osprey and for more than 25 years Ospreys have been spotted using the reservoir as a convenient stopping off point during migration. Since then a great deal of work has gone into attracting Ospreys to breed at the reservoir. During the autumn look out for passing Ospreys as they migrate to Africa for the winter; the Anglian Water Bird Watching Centre will be able to give advice on the most likely places to see these amazing birds.

Rutland Falconry & Owl Centre A popular family attraction, the Falconry & Owl Centre is set in 42 acres of unspoilt woodland and is home to a huge range of birds including owls, hawks, falcons, buzzards, eagles and vultures.

Renowned for its excellent range of antiques stores, fine art galleries and book shops, visitors are attracted here from far and wide. It offers a traditional shopping experience long since lost in larger towns; many of the local shops are still family run and provide a high level of personal service.

A traditional weekly market takes place in the town, where a range of fresh local fruits, vegetables and cheeses are available. Don’t miss the annual Uppingham Fatstock Show; the only one of its kind in the UK, it takes place in the Market Place close to Christmas.

Your guide to quality When you decide to visit Rutland, you’ll want to be assured that the accommodation you’ve chosen to stay in meets the standards you would expect. That’s why, in this guide, you’ll only find members of the two nationally recognised quality assurance schemes – The AA and Quality in Tourism. These schemes assess accommodation providers against a rigorous set of national criteria and inspect each property every year to ensure standards are being maintained. A more comprehensive accommodation listing can be found on the Discover Rutland website.

Star Ratings

Quality assured accommodation is graded with stars, except the AA assessed camping and caravanning sites which are graded with pennants. Star ratings are designed to meet the expectations of consumers with regards to quality. Generally, a one star rating would indicate simple, practical no frills accommodation whereas at the other end of the scale a five star rating would indicate exceptional quality with a degree of luxury..

Awaiting Grading

AA Food Rosettes

If you find this next to a property listing, it means that the property has applied to participate in either The AA or Quality in Tourism scheme and is waiting to be assessed.

Holders of AA rosettes demonstrate a high standard of cooking which sets them apart from other restaurants in their area. They create dishes using quality local ingredients put together with care understanding and skill.

Walkers, Cyclists, Pets & Families Welcome

Awards For Hotels, Guest Accommodation and Self-Catering properties. Highly sought after, these awards are given to an establishment in addition to the star rating, and reflect the highest standards of quality in bathrooms, bedrooms and service.

AA & Quality in Tourism Breakfast Awards Properties with these awards offer their guests quality and choice at breakfast combined with service and hospitality which exceeds their star rating.

AA Dinner Awards The AA pie symbol indicates a very special dinner with an emphasis on freshly prepared local ingredients.

General Symbols

The National Accessible Scheme Establishments taking part in the National Accessible Scheme have been assessed to ensure guests with hearing, mobility or visual impairment will have a comfortable stay.

Prices & Booking Prices in this guide are generally on a per room per night basis.

nglian Water is enormously proud of Rutland Water, regarded as the outdoor playground of the East Midlands. Visitors can enjoy many activities including fishing, sailing, cycling, birdwatching and water sports. Rutland Water is also a vitally important water resource, helping Anglian Water provide drinking water to an ever increasing population. The recent Habitat Creation Scheme at Rutland Water has had a hugely positive effect on Rutland Water Nature Reserve; it now boasts a brilliant array of habitats for all species from birds to mammals to invertebrates through the construction of new freshwater lagoons, wet meadows, ditches, scrapes and islands as well as a brand new sand martin bank. These new areas complement the existing lagoons, reed beds and open water to provide an excellent space for nature. Visitors to the reserve now have access to an assortment of hides overlooking a variety of habitat types including no less than eight lagoons at the Egleton reserve alone. Rutland Water is one of the most important wildfowl reserves in Great Britain which regularly holds in excess of 20,000 waterfowl. It is also home to England’s largest Osprey colony; come and see these amazing birds between March and early September. Rutland Water is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a European Special Protection Area and internationally recognised as a globally important wetland (RAMSAR) site. For further information on Anglian Water leisure facilities and the Rutland Habitat Creation Scheme, visit www.anglianwater.co.uk
