ハーティントンミドルクォーターの湖・トップ8

According to local legend, the pool is bottomless, and home to a sinister mermaid referred to as Jenny Greenteeth. The Doxey Pool mermaid waits to lure unsuspecting waters into her bottomless pool, to their deaths.

The source of the river is located over 1,000 feet (300 m) above sea level in the Staffordshire moorlands, near the gritstone escarpment of the Roaches. After flowing downhill for a few miles it reaches Tittesworth Reservoir, a major supplier of fresh water to the Potteries and Leek. After it leaves the dam at Tittesworth, it flows into the ancient market town of Leek, where it was used to aid the manufacture of dyes that were used in the town's textile and silk industries.

A pretty little spot where the River Churnet runs into Tittesworth Reservoir.

able to paddle board as well as other water sports here

The Errwood Circular route offers panoramic views during the 7.2 km walk, which should take around 2 hours. It's advised to wear walking shoes or boots, especially after rain, as the narrow path on the far side can get muddy.

Perhaps the aforementioned mermaid has claimed a victim or two because the hi-vis brigade have seen need for a fence to be erected all around the pool. My dog raced ahead in anticipation of being able to have a splash but was gutted to find it fenced off. Bit of a shame

Love the reservoirs at Macclesfield Forest. Great to see the reflections in the water on a calm day.

The Errwood Reservoir was completed in 1967, it supplies drinking water to Stockport and the surrounding area.
