Errwood and Fernilee Reservoirs

Errwood Reservoir is 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 Fernilee Reservoir. It was constructed by the Stockport Water Corporation at a cost of £1.5 million, with work being completed in 1967; it is currently owned and operated by United Utilities.

The reservoir provides drinking water for the town of Stockport and its surrounding areas, and it holds 4,215 million litres (1.113×109 US gal) of water.

Fernilee Reservoir is a  reservoir fed by the River Goyt in the Peak District National Park, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire.

The village of Fernliee sits at the north end of the reservoir, with Goyt’s Moss to the south and between Hoo Moor to the west and Combs Moss to the east.

The Reservoirs are next to Goyt Valley where there are the ruins of Errwood Hall.
