ペントランドヒルズ広域公園の湖・トップ8

Pretty way in or out of balermo

Stunning views. Path gets very gravelly so care needed if you are less experienced off-road

Harlaw Reservoir is a popular spot for outdoor activities including walking, fishing, and wildlife watching. One of the highlights is a small embankment on the far side of the reservoir which offers stunning views of Threipmuir Reservoir. On weekends visitors you can get your hands on some homemade crepes from a local van parked near the Harlaw House Visitor Centre.

Often busy with dog-walkers at peak times

Torduff Reservoir is a relatively small reservoir at 23 acres (9.4 hectares) just southwest of Bonaly. It sits neatly below the western flank of Torduff Hill. Nearby to the southwest is also Clubbiedean Reservoir. There is a good series of bike routes in this area that can take in both Torduff and Clubbiedean Reservoir to make use of the beautiful views of the surrounding Pentland Hills.

Nestled amongst the Pentland Hills, Glencorse Reservoir is incredibly picturesque. It was built between 1820 and 1824 to provide water to mills in the area and supply drinking water to Edinburgh. Today, the reservoir still supplies water to 450,000 people. The reservoir was created by constructing a dam, which is 77 feet (23.5 m) at its highest point.

Free and easy to any fitness level

Torduff Reservoir is man made and yet is has been described as feeling like a secret of nature - you'll likely feel the same! It's fed by a burn, surrounded by vegetation, the waters sit beneath a steep escarpment with rocky outcrops. It might look tempting for a wild swim, but the water is deep, cold, and there are very limited entry and exit points at either end, so should be reserved for the most experienced and confident!
