great ride past the reservoir

Quietly situated reservoir with rich natural beauty, built in the late 19th century as part of the drinking water system for Newcastle and Gateshead. Surrounded by woodland and bush, and popular with birdwatchers for species such as the great crested grebe, cuckoo and house martin. Ideal for a relaxing stop by the water, with views of the tranquil countryside and a touch of ecological diversity.

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.

If you’re planning on walking the reservoir loop be aware that half of it is along a quiet road

Derwent Reservoir is 5.6km long and covers nearly 4 square kms. It's a key part of the water supply for the north of England and is managed by Northumberland Water. The reservoir was opened in 1967 and unlike other reservoirs the area was dug out and the soil then used to create the dam.

The east reservoir was constructed first in 1872 to provide water to Newcastle, Gateshead and the surrounding area. As the population grew the second west reservoir was constructed in 1889. The area is a local nature reserve surrounded by mixed woodland.
