Dovestone Reservoir

Dovestone Reservoir

12 miles distance and a 6-7 hour walk – 40 miles from the Cottage

A 12-mile walk exploring the north part of the Peak District. This Dovestone Reservoir walk includes walking alongside the reservoir but also exploring the edges high above it, with epic views! The walk includes a fun scramble up the side of Birchen Clough + waterfall stopping for views of Saddleworth Moor from the iconic rocks known as the ‘Trinnacles’, three large rocks jutting out as part of the Raven Stones, that make for a great photo. The walk continues along the edge, past Ashway Rocks, Great Dove Stone Rocks and all the way to Chew Reservoir. From here you then follow the edge along to Alphin Pike before descending down to Dovestone Reservoir, then back to the car park near Greenfield.
