Cykling
Scammonden Water is a pretty reservoir in West Yorkshire. With a length of almost 1 mile (1.6 km), it is capable of holding 7,800 million litres of water.
Scammonden Dam, which serves the reservoir, was built as part of the M62 Motorway and is the only of its kind in Britain.

Cykling
Great cycle path along and then underneath the motorway. Gravel well packed down so easy to ride, although a sharp descent/climb either end, but the view of the reservoir is worth it!

Vandring
Scammonden Water is a reservoir owned and managed by Yorkshire Water. The dam that holds the reservoir back carries the M62 motorway. It's the only structure like this in the UK where the road and water companies worked together on a joint project. The reservoir and dam was made using the clay cut from further down the road route. The reservoir was completed in 1969 and the road opened in 1970.
The valley flooded Deanhead Village and the surrounding area. The church and vicarage survived. The vicarage is now the sailing club.
