Rutland Water

Rutland Water
.

The damming of the River Gwash
above Empingham, hogwash.
Nineteen seventy the scheme passed
uproar, but the die is cast.

One settlement completely destroyed
Nether Hambleton null and void.
Parts of Hambleton still remain
Hambleton Peninsula by name.

The scheme finished in seventy six
soon a magnet for day trips.
The largest reservoir in Europe
leisure potential, great scope.

Olympic sailing team train there
well wishers stand and stare.
Stocked with brown and rainbow trout
something to do, day in day out.

Cycling, walking, picnic sites
chill out on balmy nights.
Accommodation at your request
I came back satisfied, refreshed. .
