Tring Reservoirs, Nature reserve in Hertfordshire, England
Four connected reservoirs - Startops End, Marsworth, Tringford, and Wilstone - form a water system spanning 106.5 hectares near the Grand Union Canal.
The construction of these reservoirs began in 1802 with Wilstone, followed by Marsworth in 1806, Startops End in 1817, and Tringford in 1816 to support canal navigation.
The reservoirs serve as a meeting point for nature enthusiasts who gather to observe seasonal migrations and participate in organized birdwatching activities throughout the year.
Visitors can access the site through two parking areas: a free lot at Wilstone and a pay-and-display facility at Startop's End, with walking paths connecting all reservoirs.
The reservoirs support substantial bat populations, including Pipistrelle, Brandt's, Noctule, and Daubenton's species, which hunt insects over the water during summer evenings.
