High up in the South Pennines, the Scammonden Valley is home to  a good range of upland habitats which bring with them a host of flora that decorate the landscape throughout the spring and summer months. 

Investment is being made into the footpath network and habitats are being restored ,which year on year, will increase the value of this reservoir and its landscape.

It is also home to an excellent Scout Activity Centre
