Still work going on to secure the Dam Wall after the breach in 2019

Such a gorgeous area with plenty of different walks

Very quiet for a reservoir that can be partially walked around.

A real insight into the history of the reservoir of when and how it was constructed. Worth a read and it also offers a great view of the reservoir.

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.

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

a really fast descent from Pym's chair, down to Erwood reservoir

Brilliant place to visit and easy to walk to from Errwood Hall Car Park - Buxton SK11 0AR. Great little work with a doggo by your side, especially when the ice cream van is around which also sells doggo ice cream for £2.50 a tub!! Treat for the furry friend :)

A nice ride down but be careful. It is narrow and usually lots of cars heading back up. The bottom section is very rough with major potholes. Many punctures on that section.

Kinder Reservoir was constructed in 1912 and is a beautifully photogenic place. There are rough paths around the edges of the reservoir and a rather grand former water treatment works building which has sadly fallen into disrepair.

Kinder Reservoir is a striking stretch of water tucked beneath the wild expanse of Kinder Scout. Built between 1903-1911, the reservoir is fed by the River Kinder and by the stream flowing down William Clough valley.

The Park itself first of all started off as part of the “Andrews” estate originating in the 1820’s. At the time it incorporated a mine, a cotton mill and the lake. Later on in 1968 it became one of England’s first country parks, and now attracts over a quarter million visitors a year. They come to enjoy the natural beauty of ancient woodland along the river valley; in the foothills of the Peak District National Park. Mr George Andrew originally built the mill and made the man made lake (Canal). He also required a large workforce for the operation of the mill; so George also built a lot of the houses, along with the Church and School. Also a lot of the street names are named after members of the Andrew’s family. Etherow Country Park has steadily grown over the years, and now covers an area of around 200 acres. It lies at the heart of the Etherow-Goyt Valley, this is also the start of The Goyt Way, which is a 10 mile walk to Whaley Bridge. The River Etherow flows through the park which is the source for the lakes and was originally used as a reservoir to power the water wheel; which in turn provided motorized power for the cotton mill. Later on, they used the canal to transport coal for heating and keeping the cotton dry, via a horse drawn canal barge from further downstream. One of the water wheels (Big Lily) that powered the mill would use 50 million gallons of water per day; which would come down the canal and pass through what is now the car park to drive “Big Lilly”

The perfect path and location, make sure you take it easy and save the time to take it in.... your about to hit a tough up hill section!

Toddbrook Reservoir opened in 1838 and is sited above the town of Whaley Bridge in the Derbyshire High Peak area of England. The reservoir is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) providing habitats for herons, ducks and other animals & fish, while rare mosses & liverworts grow on its shores, particularly short-lived species that grow on seasonally exposed mud. The reservoir's dam is built from earth with a puddle clay core. On 01-Aug-2019, a single slab of the dam’s spillway chute collapsed after heavy rain, triggering the evacuation of parts of Whaley Bridge and the surrounding area, due to the possibility of the dam collapsing. Since the near disaster of the dam breach, the path around the reservoir is still closed.

Beautifully secluded lake, wildlife is plentiful. Shame about the vandalism to the old waterworks buildings

Etherow Country Park is rich in wildlife. The park is home to over 200 species of plants and more than a hundred species of birds have been recorded here. The park has its own nature reserve which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The reserve is managed solely by Cheshire Wildlife Trust and there is now a short permissive footpath through the SSSI with access to a bird hide overlooking the River Etherow. The wide variety of habitats within the park allow an abundance of wild plants to thrive here. With the exception of mid-winter, plants are easily spotted throughout the year. Look out for flora such as Dog's Mercury, Wood Anemone, Hedge Woundwort and Common Spotted Orchid, among many others. The many areas of woodland in the park provide an ideal home for a variety of wild plants and animals. Etherow Country Park provides ideal hunting territory for a variety of birds of prey. Tawny Owls hunt frequently in the Keg woodlands. Etherow Country Park was once part of the estate of George Andrew, who built Compstall mill in the 1820's. Compstall village was also built by Andrew to house his mill workforce. The waterways which you can see today were also built by Andrew to carry water from the weir on the river to turn the mill wheel, which stood where the car park is today. Andrew was also fond of shooting and fishing and the Keg woods and pool were his own private shooting and fishing grounds. Nowadays these areas are a quiet sanctuary for a variety of wildlife.

Lovely area, very popular with fishermen and walkers. Loads of parking thereabouts and good to see no heigh restriction barriers. Good start point for a hike up Shining Tor.
