블랙톤 저수지 최고의 러닝 경로

Blackton Reservoir is a beautiful stretch of water that is home to a great deal of wildlife. The area around the western end of the reservoir is protected as a nature reserve. Nearby, Hannah's Meadows has been designated as a site of special scientific interest due to them having many species of grass and herbs which are threatened elsewhere.

Among the three reservoirs, Balderhead is the one located furthest to the west. It takes its waters from the River Balder, a tributary of the River Tees, and was built in 1961.

Enjoy running along this stretch where you'll have the reservoir on one side and the channel on the other. Surrounded by water!

Very friendly owners, please write your name in their guestbook and leave a donation so that the commitment benefits as many people as possible :)

Hury reservoir was completed in 1892. It's the lowest in a series of three reservoirs on the river Balder designed to control the river flow and provide water to the people and industry of Teesdale.

lovely place to stop for a break

Hard climb to get up but what a stunning view from Balderhead Dam looking out towards Blackton and Hury reservoirs
