Construction of Rutland Water began in 1971 and took nearly five years to complete. The main part of the project was to build the dam wall, made of compacted clay excavated from pits within the area of the reservoir.

The dam is 35 metres high, up to 810 metres wide at its base, and 1200 metres long.

Watch out for the cross winds here. The grass nearest the dam has a concrete lattice embedded, goff for mtb and gravel bikes alike.
