    Hiking

    The reservoir was built in 1879 to provide water and manage the river's flow for the mines downstream. It overflows directly down a channel into Swinsty Reservoir below.

    The area is popular with walkers, cyclists and horse riders with paths looping around it's mostly wooded shores.
