Nice walks around there

Nice and easy walk around the reservoir. Great to stretch your legs. Plenty of options to make it harder or longer by climbing up the hills.

MTB friendly

Great views

Stunning walk in the right weather

Great pushchair friendly route

Easily accessible from Marsden via the Kirklee way. This is a stunning spot and is the first of a chain of 4 reservoirs in the valley. There are quite a few steps to reach that reservoir but your efforts will be rewarded by the view of this beautiful structure as well as the hills surrounding it. Ideal if you prefer short walks, there is a popular circular under 4 miles from Marsden. Or for longer walk, I really enjoyed taking the 4 reservoirs; Black Hill and Pule hill on a 14 miler in Summer.

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.
