Torduff Reservoir is a relatively small reservoir at 23 acres (9.4 hectares) just southwest of Bonaly. It sits neatly below the western flank of Torduff Hill. Nearby to the southwest is also Clubbiedean Reservoir. There is a good series of bike routes in this area that can take in both Torduff and Clubbiedean Reservoir to make use of the beautiful views of the surrounding Pentland Hills.

Hiking

Torduff Reservoir is man made and yet is has been described as feeling like a secret of nature - you'll likely feel the same!

It's fed by a burn, surrounded by vegetation, the waters sit beneath a steep escarpment with rocky outcrops.

It might look tempting for a wild swim, but the water is deep, cold, and there are very limited entry and exit points at either end, so should be reserved for the most experienced and confident!
