Welcome to Staunton Harold Reservoir

Staunton Harold Reservoir is a picturesque man-made lake located in Derbyshire, England. The reservoir was created in the 1960s by damming the River Mease, and it covers an area of approximately 200 acres. The reservoir is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and it is a popular destination for walkers, cyclists, and anglers. The reservoir is also home to a variety of wildlife, including ducks, geese, swans, and herons.

The reservoir is managed by Severn Trent Water, and it is an important source of drinking water for the local area. The water is treated at a nearby water treatment plant before being distributed to homes and businesses. The reservoir is also used for recreational activities, such as sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking. There is a sailing club located on the reservoir, and it offers sailing lessons and boat hire.

Staunton Harold Reservoir is a popular destination for visitors to Derbyshire, and it is easy to see why. The reservoir offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, and it is a peaceful and tranquil place to spend a few hours. Whether you are looking for a leisurely walk, a spot of fishing, or some water-based activities, Staunton Harold Reservoir has something for everyone. So why not pack a picnic and head down to the reservoir for a day out in the great outdoors?
