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.

An Ethel summit at 548m above sea level with stunning views over the moorlands

Margery Hill is 546m above sea level, topped with a trig point. It gets very boggy up here!

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.

Stunning views (360) Even better when you climb the concrete post 😜

Surrounded by gritstone, this trig point has far reaching views over Howden Edge. The nearby Margery Rocks are a great place for a picnic stop. The area surrounding the trig point can be very boggy and wet, with some of the bogs being quite deep, so take care when visiting.

It can be very boggy around here! The peat bogs can be quite deep in places so take care when visiting.

Plank Gate is a lot of fun and you can use it to get to and from Stocksbridge

So much fun going in both directions

Great route for all users

I am petty new to cycling and I was able to maintain 10-15 MPH

Do not go down dead-end the rail crossing now has a padlock and chain on it

Beautiful walk but can get busy

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

Fantastic place with loads of downhill bike tracks throughout. I’d recommend a full suspension bike, but I have also seen a lot of stuff ridden on a hardtail too! A full face helmet won’t go a miss either. In addition to the biking, there’s also some incredible views to take in.

coming from Derwent it can be done uphill on an e-bike. In a couple of places I really appreciated the 90nm from by Brose motor 😊. And after that a really nice long descent to Langsett.

If you're coming from Oughtibridge this gravel road feels like a long and endless climb through Wharncliffe Woods

A 1,791-foot (546 m) high trig pointed summit just north of Howden Edge. Nice rest spot.

Lovely spot, small cairn to mark High Stones/Howden Edge. Lovely rugger moorland views, no jagged peaks here just bleak moorland...but beautiful on a sunny day like today!
