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.

Water runs off the great whaleback of Pendle Hill, cascading down Ogden Clough and Boar Clough to reach the Ogden Reservoirs. Built to supply drinking water to nearby Nelson, the trails around the reservoirs are a delight and are often explored by those on the way up Pendle Hill. There are three plantations here too, including Fell Wood, with its spruces, pines and larches.

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.

The Lower Coldwell Reservoir was built in 1884 to supply the town of Nelson's water needs. Today, it holds around 80 million gallons of water. The Upper Reservoir is around half the size and was completed in 1935. There used to be an inn here, which was once a notorious gambling den. It closed its doors in 1941 and has since become the Coldwell Activity Centre.

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.

Lower Ogden Reservoir was built in the early 1900's to supply water to the surrounding area.

Watersheddles Reservoir dates form the 1870s and although being in Lancashire, supplies only Yorkshire with water, in particular the Worth Valley and Keighley.

Easy walk
