Withens Clough Reservoir is a picturesque sight on the high moors above Calderdale. It was established in the late 19th century to supply water to the nearby towns. The Calderdale Way long-distance footpath passes the reservoir and it is also not far from the Pennine Way and the beloved Stoodley Pike Monument.

Withens Clough Reservoir was built in the 1890s to service nearby towns. The trail that passes by here is a permissive bridleway, and is a fine alternative route from the Calder Valley to Cragg Vale, which several hundred years ago was the base for a national counterfeiting cartel.
