Great pushchair friendly route

The 3rd of that beautiful chain of reservoir in the Wessenden Valley. The access from Marsden is quite easy as it follows part of the Kirklee Way and Peak District boundary walk but there are a fews steps to reach the chain of reservoir. Not a bad spot for your first water break on a hot Summer's day or warm tea break from the flask in Winter if you are hiking in the area. It stands at the 2.5 miles mark if you started from Marsden and is less busy than its cousins: Butterley Reservoirs and Blakeley Reservoir You will find benches and the views of the valley are superb.
