スミディショー貯水池のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Fantastic views from here especially over derwent reservoir.

A little gem of a reservoir definitely worth a visit.

Nice easy walk around with the tranquil sound of the water lapping at the shores.

Lovely fresh food and drinks

You can reach this reservoir from Waskerley via gravel paths. Completed in the late 19th century, it is part of a group of three reservoirs in this area, with the other two being Waskerley and Hisehope.

For fourteen years, in the mid-19th century, this building served as the railway station for the village of Waskerley. It was used for goods traffic for a little longer but eventually closed altogether in 1965.

Of the three reservoirs in this area, this one is the smallest. Additionally, it channels its waters to the Smiddy Shaw Reservoir through a small connecting canal. It is a very pleasant place for a hike, offering the opportunity to connect with some of the other reservoirs.
