    Dovestone Reservoir is situated where the Greenfield and Chew Brooks valleys come together above the village of Greenfield on Saddleworth Moor.

    The reservoir is located at the gateway to the iconic Peak District National Park and is a truly breathtaking location, oozing peace and serenity.

      The lower and largest of the three reservoirs in the Greenfield valley Dove Stone Reservoir was completed in 1966. The water is used to supply drinking water to the surrounding area.
      The lakeside path is a popular walking trail and can easily be combined with a loop of the other reservoirs for a longer day.
