      From Black Moss Reservoir, a fantastic view towards Manchester. Quiet serene spot.

        After walking a few miles through the bleak area of the Marsden Moors; it was interesting to find this reservoir with amazing views of the civilization of Manchester. You do not need to walk through the moors to find this spot as there is a short walk (under 4 miles) from Marsden, taking in Butterley Reservoir via the Kirklee Way and onto this reservoir via the Peak District Edge walk. A great spot to stop to for picnic in good weather; enjoy the peace and the views of the big city.
