Rutland Water is to stay open during the third national lockdown.

The move contrasts with the first lockdown last spring when it was closed, but it did stay open during the second lockdown in November.

Anglian Water Parks said on its website: "Further to the government announcement regarding the latest national lockdown, we can confirm that our parks will be remaining open for access to the tracks, play parks and nature reserves and we will be providing takeaway services from our cafes.

"Access to angling, watersports, mini golf and non-essential retail shops will be closed until further notice. Cycle hire will remain open (pre-booking in advance required). "

Anglian Water Parks continued: "We know how valuable local communities have found being able to access our green spaces during these uncertain times. So that we are able to continue this, we ask all visitors to follow the governments advice relating to COVID19 restrictions and keeping travel local.

"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 and be mindful of those who live in the areas surrounding the parks."
