Nice walks around there

Easily accessible from Marsden via the Kirklee way. This is a stunning spot and is the first of a chain of 4 reservoirs in the valley. There are quite a few steps to reach that reservoir but your efforts will be rewarded by the view of this beautiful structure as well as the hills surrounding it. Ideal if you prefer short walks, there is a popular circular under 4 miles from Marsden. Or for longer walk, I really enjoyed taking the 4 reservoirs; Black Hill and Pule hill on a 14 miler in Summer.

The 3rd of that beautiful chain of reservoir in the Wessenden Valley. The access from Marsden is quite easy as it follows part of the Kirklee Way and Peak District boundary walk but there are a fews steps to reach the chain of reservoir. Not a bad spot for your first water break on a hot Summer's day or warm tea break from the flask in Winter if you are hiking in the area. It stands at the 2.5 miles mark if you started from Marsden and is less busy than its cousins: Butterley Reservoirs and Blakeley Reservoir You will find benches and the views of the valley are superb.

This reservoir is part of 4 reservoirs in a descending chain. Built in the Edwardian era for the local weaving industry; it is now a beauty spot just outside Marsden. There are steps to get there and the path is well maintained. When I was there in the summer; with the sun shining on the water and the surrounding hills covered in ferns; I felt like I landed in a different world.

Long steady road climb with good surface! Also the cattle grid has been removed

One of four reservoirs in the Wessenden Valley, this is a beautiful spot and a great objective for a hike. Constructed in 1836, it was built to supply water to the nearby mills, as well as protect the region from flooding. The Pennine Way long-distance trail skirts the reservoir to the north.

Bring an oxygen bottle with you

A small and pretty waterfall. There’s a wooden bridge to cross just in front of it
