This little and picturesque reservoir is no longer used by the water company Yorkshire Water for water supply; having reduced the amount of water in it, they nonetheless left it to exist and thrive. A beautiful place, and the forested slopes on the other side of the reservoir are truly lovely.

Left for the local wildlife, this reservoir's banks can be quite overgrown in summer, making it difficult to see.
