Ponden Reservoir was built in the 1870s it is used for sailing and canoeing by Ponden Water Sport Club. It runs right next to the road so good views are guaranteed.

There are also lovely views of the reservoir and valley if descending down Scar Top Road from Wycoller. If you are traveling in the opposite direction and are climbing, be sure to take a look over your shoulder.
