This live stream looks out over Rutland Water, one of England's largest man-made reservoirs, in the county of Rutland. It is useful if you want to check conditions on the water before a visit or simply watch the light change across the lake.

About Rutland Water

Rutland Water was created in the 1970s by damming the River Gwash in the East Midlands. Its wide, open surface and surrounding shoreline have made it a well-known place for sailing, birdwatching and walking. The landscape is gentle and farmed, with woodland and grassland edges around the water. Ospreys have been seen here in recent seasons, which has made the reservoir popular with wildlife watchers.

What to watch on the stream

Depending on the view, you may see open water, boats or the shoreline under changing skies. Calm mornings often give the smoothest surface, while afternoons with wind can bring whitecaps and more movement on the water. Overcast days can be atmospheric, and the low light of early morning and evening tends to show the landscape most clearly. Check the live weather on this page to judge what the water is likely to look like.

Practical planning

The UK climate is mild and changeable, so layers and waterproofs are sensible at any time of year. Late spring and summer are the busiest months for sailing and walking, while autumn and winter are quieter and good for birdwatching. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Bay Osprey II at Manton, about 5 km away, and Pitsford Water to the south, which together give a wider picture of the area.
