This is a man-made reservoir that lies at the foot of the Iron Age hillfort known as British Camp, which gives the reservoir its name. It was constructed in the late 19th century to supply water to the surrounding areas, including Malvern, which is well-known for its pure spring water.

The reservoir is no longer in use, but it still catches water and so does fill up in the winter.
