Tower and overflow when the reservoir is too full

Views across the reservoir

Boat Shack no longer exists :( Apparently it’s being turned into a wedding venue.

A fun friendly cafe serving snacks, cake, drinks and meals. Located in the Pow Hill Country Park above Derwent Reservoir it's a great place to begin or end a walk and support a local business. Open seasonally, just weekends in the winter but more days in the summer and school holidays so do check before visiting facebook.com/boatshackdurham

Pow Hill country park is a SSSI on the hill above Derwent Reservoir. It's designated due to the important marsh and woodland habitat. Look out for the rare plant species in the marsh areas and red squirrels, adders and slow worms. The views over the reservoir are pretty special as well.

This reservoir is an ideal spot if you want to enjoy a pleasant run and step on different terrains, as you can easily go around the reservoir. From this dam, you can observe it in all its splendor from one of its ends. It's important to note that entering the water for unauthorized swimming or just for a quick cool down is not allowed.
