The smallest and quietest of Rutland Water's four waterside parks, Barnsdale is a secluded wooded spot with good opportunities for walking and cycling.

The site is open 24 hours with barbecue facilities. Parking is plentiful and there's an adventure playground for the kids. Bird-watching hides in the nearby woods will keep the nature enthusiast occupied.
