Wonderfully scenic reservoirs with a good mix of water, woodland and countryside. The machines at the car parks only take cash so bring coins, you can also pay using the Ringo parking app. There is a path that goes around each reservoir, easily walkable but might be challenging for anyone with mobility needs. Works are ongoing around the lower reservoir and sadly the path was closed in parts, however this didn't spoil the day. Worth a visit.

Good area for some woodland walks with some super gradients. The waters are devided into three lakes and it’s nice to walk between the middle bits for the lovely views across the water. Various different length walks to do on the map. Good free toilets and this is one of the seven trent water car park sites included on the car park passes.

A wonderful and accessible walking location! Sturdy footpaths and clean toilet facilities. There was an ice cream van in the car park with reasonable prices. The car parks appear to be cash only in 2026 which is frustrating.

Beautiful area to hike around the reservoir and surrounding forest. Easily accessible from the car park (machine only took cash).
