Anglian Water asks people to check Government advice before visiting Rutland Water

People have been urged to follow Government advice ahead of visiting Rutland Water.

The tourist attraction remained open throughout the second lockdown so people could access the tracks and play parks as well as takeaway service from the café.

As the country moves into a tier system tomorrow (December 2), with Rutland being in tier 2, more services at the reservoir are set to resume.

A spokesman for Anglian Water which owns and manages the attraction said: “Fishing boat hire and watersports access will reopen from December 2 along with our mini golf and retail shops.

“Our parks cover a wide area of East Anglia and as we enter the new tiered system, we advise all customers to check the relevant park pages before travelling, for specific park information at www.anglianwaterparks.co.uk."

In the new rules people are advised against non-essential travel to counties in a different tier.

“We advise all visitors to follow the Governments advice relating to Covid-19 restrictions and travel," the spokesman said.

"Our responsibility to ensure that everyone who visits us maintains social distancing and is respectful of the local communities around the parks remains clear and we ask that everyone plan their visit in advance.”
