Rudyard Lake

Stretching over 168 acres and providing some of the most dramatic scenery in the Staffordshire Moorlands, Rudyard Lake offers an entertaining day-out for the whole family.

The lake is arguably most famous for the fact that Rudyard Kipling’s parents met here, liking it so much they named their son after it.

Try your hand at boating, canoeing, and fishing at Rudyard Lake.
