    Cow Green reservoir is 3km long and was completed in 1971 to supply water to Teesside. It controls the flow in the river Tees keeping the supply to industry downstream safe during dry periods.
    The area surrounding the reservoir is an important habitat for rare alpine plants.

      Cow Green Reservoir is a three-kilometre long reservoir set in the heart of the North Pennines. It is set in a beautiful, wide valley under the shadow of Meldon Fell. There is a large car park with porta loos nearby that provides the only parking in the area for the myriad of outdoor activities, including hiking, in the area. Cauldron Snout, a famous waterfall, is also nearby, located on the other side of the dam.
