    Tips

    January 29, 2023

    The three smaller reservoirs upstream of Greenbooth were finished in 1846. Below them was the small village of Greenbooth which consisted of around 80 cottages, a sweet shop, a co-op, a mill and a school. It was decided that more water was needed to supply Rochdale and this valley was suggested. The village was cleared and flooded as the dam was built and the reservoir constructed. It was finished in 1965 completely submerging the village.

    Today, the reservoir is a nice place for a walk either around the lake or combining it with a longer walk on the moors above.
