Great early morning walk.

Langsett Reservoir boasts well-maintained paths suitable for various abilities, making it ideal for walking, cycling, or even a leisurely stroll. The surrounding woodland and moorland offer diverse landscapes, changing beautifully with the seasons. The dam wall itself is an impressive feat of engineering, and walking across it provides great views of the reservoir and surrounding countryside.

loved this walk

A great walk. Free parking. Cafe across road and down hill a bit from car park

Beautiful woodland, popular with dog walkers and cyclists.

Snailsden Reservoir is a pretty place, set high on the moor, but not actually that far from the nearest road. It's a great place for a picnic but take care as the banks are quite muddy and Yorkshire Water would rather people didn't swim here. Constructed in the mid 1890s to increase the water supply for the growing local towns.

The embankment of Langsett Reservoir is 352m/1, 156ft long and has a depth of 35m/117ft, to the old river bed beneath. When full, the reservoir holds 59 million m3 or 1,409 million gallons of water. The castellated valvehouse at the northern end of the dam wall is supposed to have been modelled on the gatehouse of Lancaster Castle. The reservoir took 14 years to build, between 1889 and 1904. The reservoir is now controlled by Yorkshire Water, and its naturally acidic, brown water is treated at the modern Langsett Treatment Works just below the embankment wall to the right.

Digley Reservoir is located just within the boundary of the beautiful Peak District National Park. It features stunning scenery of open countryside and lovely woodland, and there are plenty of benches to sit on and admire the view.

A popular area for dog walking, Digley Reservoir is a scenic trail to run round. Digley offers a varied trail alongside woods, through fields and the edge of the moor, with plenty of lovely scenery and views over to Bilberry Reservoir.

A beautiful reservoir high up on the moors.

Beautiful walk but can get busy

Bring a brew, enjoy the view (take your rubbish home!!!).

Langsett Reservoir is a lovely place to walk around and is moderate loop with great views across the reservoir. You can also use this as a base to explore longer walks in the Peak District. There is a free car park with toilets available but this does get quite busy. There is also a nice cafe and pub close to the parking area.

It can get busy at the weekends

Really busy place in lockdown

Great for a family walk of all ages

Great to look out over the water on a sunny day.

if like me you set your route to mtb and are coming from penistone on the 627, you cant access the resvoir from the housing estate. go up to the left follow around until you reach a sign for the sailing club on your right.

A large reservoir with spectacular scenery, the Winscar Reservoir is popular with hikers and bikers as well as windsurfers and sailors. The Pennine Sailing Club has its base at the reservoir. Surrounded by hills, the calm waters of the reservoir are a great place to have a break. During the summer, you can stop off at the ice cream van for a treat!
