Errwood Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District National Park, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire. The reservoir was the second of two reservoirs built in the Goyt Valley, the other one being its neighbour Fernilee Reservoir.

There is a beautiful 5-mile (8 km) circular walk around Errwood reservoir with some amazing panoramic views and a lovely 3-mile (4.8 km) circular walk around Fernilee reservoir if you wanted to combine both.

Lovely area, very popular with fishermen and walkers. Loads of parking thereabouts and good to see no heigh restriction barriers. Good start point for a hike up Shining Tor.

Brilliant place to visit and easy to walk to from Errwood Hall Car Park - Buxton SK11 0AR. Great little work with a doggo by your side, especially when the ice cream van is around which also sells doggo ice cream for £2.50 a tub!! Treat for the furry friend :)
