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.

Constructed during the Victorian era, this footbridge spanning the River Tees was initially designed to convey water from the elevated moorland to the coastal industrial towns. it now serves as a cycling and pedestrian bridge, with fantastic views over the water, including that of the castle.
