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.

Torside Dam was completed in the early 1970s to create Torside Reservoir for water supply. The earth-fill dam is approximately 1,800 meters long and 35 meters high, effectively holding back the reservoir's waters. The reservoir supports a variety of wildlife, making it an important site for both recreation and environmental conservation.

To the left where you cross House Carr Lane in Nabs Wood (owned by the Woodland Trust, but with public access) is the location of the day hole or drift of the former Moorend Colliery. Here on the 4th July 1838 a violent thunderstorm led to water from House Carr Dyke pouring into the day hole. At the same time children working in the mine were trying to make their way out and 26 of them between the ages of seven and seventeen were trapped against a ventilation door and drowned. Their graves and a large memorial stone are to be found in Silkstone Churchyard. In 1988 on the 150th anniversary of the disaster a second memorial was dedicated near the site and this depicts two crouching figures of child mineworkers. This disaster was partly responsible for passing of the Mines Act of 1842 forbidding women and children under the age of ten from working in the mines.
