Errwood Reservoir

Highlight • Structure

Errwood Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District National Park, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire. The reservoir was the second of two reservoirs built in the Goyt Valley, the other one being its neighbour Fernilee Reservoir.

There is a beautiful 5-mile (8 km) circular walk around Errwood reservoir with some amazing panoramic views and a lovely 3-mile (4.8 km) circular walk around Fernilee reservoir if you wanted to combine both.

Highlight • Structure

Fernilee Reservoir was the first reservoir built in the Goyt valley and completed in 1938. It supplies all the water for Stockport. It is a popular walking area, and there is a 3 mile (5 km) woodland walk that goes around the entire reservoir. The walk along the eastern shore is particularly popular with dog-walkers and families with young children as it is on an old railway line. There is parking at the northern and southern ends.
