Welcome to Cow Green Reservoir

Cow Green Reservoir is a man-made lake located in the northern part of England's Lake District National Park. The reservoir was created in the 1960s to provide water for the nearby town of Teesdale. The lake is surrounded by stunning natural beauty, with rolling hills and rugged mountains in the distance. Visitors to Cow Green Reservoir can enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including hiking, fishing, and birdwatching. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including red squirrels, otters, and birds of prey.

One of the most unique features of Cow Green Reservoir is its location in the heart of the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The area is known for its rugged, wild landscapes, and Cow Green Reservoir is no exception. The lake is surrounded by steep hills and rocky outcrops, which provide a dramatic backdrop for the water. Visitors can explore the area on foot, taking in the stunning views and enjoying the peace and quiet of this remote corner of England.

Another unique aspect of Cow Green Reservoir is its role in providing water for the local community. The reservoir is an important source of drinking water for the town of Teesdale, and it also provides water for agriculture and industry in the surrounding area. The lake is carefully managed to ensure that it remains a sustainable resource for the future. Visitors to Cow Green Reservoir can learn about the history and management of the lake at the nearby visitor center, which offers exhibits and information about the area's natural and cultural heritage.
