The Upper Ogden was completed in 1906 and has a surface area of 2.84 hectares and is 17.9 metres deep. As a very impressive spillway.

lots of steps, I find it easier to go around

Nice route round the back of Pendle to avoid the steep steps ascent

Amazing reservoir and amazing to see the reflection of the trees and hills in the water on a quiet day.

Upper Ogden Reservoir - pretty stunning !!! 🤩

The village of Barrowford is the traditional start point for the Pendle Way, a 45-mile (72 km) loop of the Pendle district. The hike begins from the Pendle Heritage Centre, a great place to learn more about the region’s rich history. The village boasts a couple of pubs, a wine bar and a restaurant, though neighbouring Nelson is a better bet for accommodation.

These days a nature reserve and popular walking spot, Walverden Reservoir was built to supply water to the town of Nelson. Work was completed in 1869, damming the flow of Walverden Water. As Nelson's demands grew, a new reservoir was constructed at Coldwell in 1884 and again in 1935.

Lower Ogden Reservoir was built in the early 1900's to supply water to the surrounding area. The track to the north can be linked with footpaths to the south so that you can run around the reservoir from Barley. You can also extend the run and take in Upper Ogden Reservoir or use this as the start or finishing section for a brilliant loop of Pendle Hill.
