Dovestone Reservoir walk
2.75 miles

The first walk here is a lovely, easy walk around Dovestone Reservoir. The footpath running around the reservoir is well maintained and a very popular walk for all the family. The countryside around the reservoir is lovely with woodland, stone crags and pretty waterfalls. There is a slight climb up the Chew Hill but this gives fantastic views across the reservoir at the top. There are refreshments available in the nearby villages of Greenfield and Mossley.

Dovestone Reservoir and Yeoman Hey Reservoir walk
Distance: 4 miles

Our alternative walk is another very popular walk and it is an extension to Walk above. This walk includes a stroll around the shores of Yeoman Hey Reservoir and gives some lovely views along the way. Most of the walk is quite easy on paved surfaces and a couple of quite gentle hills. Please note the path along the Yeoman Hey Reservoir is a permissible path and therefore may, on occasions, be closed. If this is the case you can still do walk 1.
