Snailsden Reservoir is a pretty place, set high on the moor, but not actually that far from the nearest road. It's a great place for a picnic but take care as the banks are quite muddy and Yorkshire Water would rather people didn't swim here.

Constructed in the mid 1890s to increase the water supply for the growing local towns.
