Eyebrook Reservoir Claimed

Eyebrook Reservoir (or Eye Brook Reservoir) is a 201.3 hectare reservoir and is located between Corby and Uppingham.

The reservoir was formed by the damming of the Eye Brook and built between 1937 and 1940.

The reservoir is an important site for wintering wildfowl, such as wigeon, teal, mallard and pochard.

Other habitats are marsh, mudflats, grassland, broad-leaved woodland and plantations.

There is no public access to the reservoir, which is reserved for a trout fishery, but it can be viewed from a public footpath which runs along part of the eastern side.
