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.

Great food, drinks and service. Quite a few vegan options

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.

Good cafe to stop at for cyclists

Great place to stop for a chip butty & a slab of cake after your walk or ride at Langsett barn

Beautiful walk but can get busy

Had a much needed food break right before closing time (5pm). Got some extra chips and coffee on the house....happy days!

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

Langsett Reservoir is a lovely place to walk around and is moderate loop with great views across the reservoir. You can also use this as a base to explore longer walks in the Peak District. There is a free car park with toilets available but this does get quite busy. There is also a nice cafe and pub close to the parking area.

It can get busy at the weekends

Nice trail to add on as part of Cutgate if you add a loop in around Langsett. Does get very busy with walkers, dogs and families at the weekend. Nothing massively technical, just some sections of loose rocks, mostly suitable for all abilities.

Top tip: get a mountain bike! For real though, if your on a gravel bike its mostly doable. But there is a bit near the little don, where i had to carry my bike. Really good fun though, nice views of the reservoir and good mix of chunky and smooth gravel

Great to look out over the water on a sunny day.

A proper cyclist's cafe with lovely cakes and big portions. Pete does his best to make everyone feel welcome. Pancakes and bacon are a definite favourite on the menu.

I’ve not been in but the building is decorated in KOM colours in honour of the Grand depart of the Tour de France.

Aka Spotty Cafe. This red and white polka dot cafe appears on the route of the Yorkshire Tour De France Grand departe, hence the KOM colour scheme. Indoors the colourful decor celebrates cycling and bike culture. The food is excellent and the staff and wonderfully welcoming. Would recommend the fruity flapjack!
