    Tips

    Hiking

    Dale Dike Reservoir was built between 1859 and 1864 to power the mills downstream and to supply drinking water to Sheffield. Sadly, the day after the reservoir was filled, the dam failed – resulting in millions of gallons of water rushing into Sheffield. The disaster, known as the Great Sheffield Flood, killed 244 people and destroyed more than 5,000 properties.

    These days, the reservoir is an idyllic place for hiking. There are lots of paths to explore, taking you along the shoreline, into woodlands and up onto the moors.
