    If Kathy Bates was into balls (and she probably was) then this might be called the Batesballs…read moreGround, but thankfully it's not, so we can move on. First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - I was a travelling Oxford fan back in the days when both Derby and Oxford were a big deal, and intrinsically linked. I had a great time here and always loved coming up to Derby, but I have to be honest... it was a stadium that needed replacing. Or massive renovations. And the new one (Pride Park) is just so fantastic and impressive that I am not surprised they tore this one down. But I will always remember coming here in the 90s, and all the great teams and games that happened here, including a couple that I saw live in person. I've been to most UK & US stadiums, due to lifelong obsessions with travel, sport & especially footy (soccer to Americans). Born & raised in England, I followed Oxford United (hometown team) to stadia all over the country at away games, and later Liverpool (fave team) around. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are from first-hand personal experience, usually from several visits. In 2011, I was on music tour in the UK, and visited most stadiums for fun in my spare time. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to hundreds yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at most, which I'll post later. Also, when back in UK I'll take more pix, and add more stadia! *** return to regular review *** It was demolished just a few years ago, after being the stadium of the great club Derby County (and the home of the champions in Brian "Brain" Clough's days) from 1889 until 2003. Over a hundred years of history, now vanished. In all honesty, even with its 42k standing capacity, and especially with its 18k final capacity, it was never the best stadium in the league, in fact it was one of my least faves. But for all the great memories and for the fact that it's now consigned only to memories, I'll give it a solid 3. Speaking of solid, check this out. (Pulls down pants).

    Beautiful views of the water wherever you stop to look at the water with plenty of amenities in…read moreterms of fishing,sailing,wind surfing,bird watching,running (A full Rutland Water lap is 23 miles which includes the peninsular,17 miles without,which is ideal for those of you that are training for large running events,such as The London Marathon or similar events. I used to trot around here as part of my training when I competed in the London Marathon - highly recommend,gets you in a great head space as you take in all the different views of the water. Walking,cycling & dog walking are other activities you can do,to name just a few,there is also *depending on the seasons a Rutland Water Aqua Park - but make sure you pre book as this is very popular. Normanton Park Church is a tourist hot spot as well as a Zoo! & a man made beach. There are plenty of cafes & children's play areas,with rock climbing (Rock Block). Hambleton peninsula is worth a visit with local pubs dotted around Rutland Water. We live near here & I think most Rutlanders will admit that they don't use the area as much as they should. Although we will be taking a wander to take a look at the new Sea Dragon which has just been unearthed

    Great well conserved park…read more This is basically a large man made resevoir, underneath which is a village that was covered over with water when they made the resevoir. Great place for canoing and other water Sports. Many people hire cycles out or bring there own to go around the water, it quite a ride but makes a nice day out. Also great for walks, feeding the ducks, there is also a marina area and in the summer there are boat trips. Food is expensive so better to bring a picnic or packed lunch
