Wing Water Treatment Works
Wing Water Treatment Works is a 1.5-hectare Site of Special Scientific Interest located east of Wing in Rutland. It is also a Geological Conservation Review site. The site is important because it contains the longest known sequence in Britain of deposits from the Ipswichian interglacial, about 120,000 years ago, and it has provided new paleobotanical records for that period. Access is from Morcott Road, but the site has been filled in and no geology is visible. It lies next to Anglian Water’s Wing Water Treatment Works, which treats water taken from Rutland Water reservoir a few miles to the north.
