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.
