Langsett Reservoir boasts well-maintained paths suitable for various abilities, making it ideal for walking, cycling, or even a leisurely stroll. The surrounding woodland and moorland offer diverse landscapes, changing beautifully with the seasons. The dam wall itself is an impressive feat of engineering, and walking across it provides great views of the reservoir and surrounding countryside.

Digley Reservoir was constructed in the 19th century to supply water to the local area. The area is framed by rolling hills and lush vegetation and offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and bird-watching.

The embankment of Langsett Reservoir is 352m/1, 156ft long and has a depth of 35m/117ft, to the old river bed beneath. When full, the reservoir holds 59 million m3 or 1,409 million gallons of water. The castellated valvehouse at the northern end of the dam wall is supposed to have been modelled on the gatehouse of Lancaster Castle. The reservoir took 14 years to build, between 1889 and 1904. The reservoir is now controlled by Yorkshire Water, and its naturally acidic, brown water is treated at the modern Langsett Treatment Works just below the embankment wall to the right.

Winscar Reservoir, near Holmfirth in West Yorkshire, is a picturesque man-made lake dating back to 1850. Surrounded by rolling hills, it offers opportunities for scenic walks, birdwatching, and a peaceful escape in nature.

The road here passes along the damn wall of Ingbirchworth Reservoir giving great views across the water. It is a popular spot for bird watching and fishing. During very dry spells and drought, the bridge over the river that was dammed can be seen emerging from the water, Summer Ford Bridge.

Winscar Reservoir was created in 1850 and sits just inside the Peak District National Park. From here you can enjoy spectacular scenery and there is a tarmac path between the two car parks up here which can be ridden by road bike. There is often an ice cream van here in the summer.

Beautiful walk but can get busy

Bring a brew, enjoy the view (take your rubbish home!!!).
