Fernilee Reservoir was the first reservoir built in the Goyt valley and completed in 1938. It supplies all the water for Stockport. It is a popular walking area, and there is a 3 mile (5 km) woodland walk that goes around the entire reservoir. The walk along the eastern shore is particularly popular with dog-walkers and families with young children as it is on an old railway line. There is parking at the northern and southern ends.
