Howden Reservoir, reservoir in the United Kingdom
Description
Howden Reservoir is a water storage lake in the Peak District of Derbyshire. The water is held back by a massive stone dam that was completed in the early 1900s.
History
Howden Reservoir was built in the early 1900s as part of a water supply system serving Sheffield and surrounding areas. Its construction represented a major engineering achievement that transformed the local landscape.
Practical
The lake can be explored via walking paths that circle around the shoreline and offer different viewpoints. The ground can be boggy in places, especially after rain, so sturdy walking shoes are helpful.
Did you know?
Howden Reservoir was built alongside other dams in a series, creating a cascade system to manage water flow efficiently. Visitors can see how the connected dams work together and explore the neighboring water bodies.
