Abstract
The creation of England’s largest lowland lake has resulted in major changes to existing patterns of recreation demand in the East Midlands. In 1977 and 1978, Leicestershire County Council carried out a number of surveys at Rutland Water as part of a regular monitoring of all large countryside recreation sites in the county. In addition to establishing visitor levels and characteristics, the surveys sought to establish the extent to which Rutland Water has attracted visitors from other beauty spots in the region or indeed has generated an additional demand. Further studies were undertaken to assess the impact of the large number of visitors on the surrounding roads and villages. Lessons learnt in planning for recreation at Rutland Water may well have a general application to similar new developments elsewhere in the country.
