Very scenic, loads of different areas to park. Worth checking which area you want to visit so that you park in correct spot. You can take BBQ, toilets available. A few cafes are different points. Only downside is parking charges do rack up the longer you have been there (£2 an hour)

Haven't visited Rutland Water for about 40 years. Still a beautiful place but with many, many more facilities. I imagine it might almost be too busy in the summer but it was really lovely for a family walk in the spring while staying nearby. There is plenty of Information available on line and also in the shops (free maps available) about the different walks and cycle routes. There really is plenty of space to accommodate all the different facilities and if you just want to go for a nice walk in a peaceful setting like I did 40 years ago then this is still possible. All in all a great location for a good day out.

A good place to go for a walk, relax, have a BBQ or hang out with friends and family's. Been there a couple times with my family and its so relaxing especially on a hot sunny day. Its peaceful as well which is a good when you just want to relax and rewind. The ocean is cool as well so its nice to have a quick dip or just put your feet in the water just to cool down or relax. Have a small beach where children can go and play in the sand just to have fun.

Been here a few times over the years. Its always been a good place for a walk. On the last visit we had a coffee in the harbour cafe and found the drinks to be good value for money. The only down side is the car park charges which are a bit pricey. We did consider a boat trip but this like the car park was expensive.

Jewel of England. Beautiful place, well worth a visit. There is plenty of parking in numerous car parks. Price are currently £2 per hour upto £16. Lots of different things to do, including: Walking/hiking, fishing, boat trips, mini golf. There's also a water park, although when we visited it wasn't open. Maybe worth checking if that's what you are visiting for. There's also barbecue stands for disposable bbq's. Plenty of places for refreshments including cafes. Toilets are free to use(rare in this country these days) and includes toilets for customers with disabilities. I would also say, if you want a bit of piece and quite, don't go at the weekend.
