Lovely walk down the side of this reservoir bring a picnic if its sunny🌞

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.

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

Beautiful woodland, popular with dog walkers and cyclists.

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.

The Dale Dike overflows the reservoir of the same name and runs down the valley into Damflask Reservoir.

Agden Reservoir is a beautiful body of water nestled between High Bradfield and Low Bradfield. A delightful path runs around the reservoir and there are lots of places to relax on the shore. It can get very busy here, especially at peak times and/or good weather. Choose your moment to explore carefully. Midweekers are perfect if you can.

Dale Dike Reservoir was built between 1859 and 1864 to power the mills downstream and to supply drinking water to Sheffield. Sadly, the day after the reservoir was filled, the dam failed – resulting in millions of gallons of water rushing into Sheffield. The disaster, known as the Great Sheffield Flood, killed 244 people and destroyed more than 5,000 properties. These days, the reservoir is an idyllic place for hiking. There are lots of paths to explore, taking you along the shoreline, into woodlands and up onto 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.

A lovely walk for the family.

It can get busy at the weekends

Really busy place in lockdown

A pleasant walk for the family. Can be really busy in on sunny days.

Great for a family walk of all ages

Good place to start your hike to ensure free parking.

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