Slaley‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 호수

A little gem of a reservoir definitely worth a visit.

Pretty quiet lane, heads southwest to Corbridge or can swing up across the Military road to Matfen

Nice blast from the past and a nice little shelter from the wind.

Flat section on long climb. Quiet Road with views across valley to Derwent Reservoir.

Of the three reservoirs in this area, this one is the smallest. Additionally, it channels its waters to the Smiddy Shaw Reservoir through a small connecting canal. It is a very pleasant place for a hike, offering the opportunity to connect with some of the other reservoirs.

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.

The moorland where you are has a rich history of lead mining, and right in front, you can observe what used to be the chimney of the Jeffrey Smelt Mill. Next to it (as you can see, the upper part is missing, although the rest is well-preserved), there is a dam that was also used for the mines. There was another one as well, but this is the only one that still has water in it.
