Welcome to Audenshaw Reservoir

Audenshaw Reservoir is a beautiful and serene body of water located in Greater Manchester. It is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike, who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and take in the stunning views. The reservoir is surrounded by lush greenery and is home to a variety of wildlife, making it a great place for nature lovers to explore.

The reservoir was built in the late 19th century to provide water to the growing population of Manchester. It covers an area of around 30 hectares and has a capacity of over 1 billion litres of water. Today, it is still an important source of drinking water for the city, but it is also a popular recreational spot. Visitors can enjoy a leisurely walk around the reservoir, go fishing, or simply relax and take in the scenery.

One of the most striking features of Audenshaw Reservoir is its dam, which is an impressive 30 metres high and 200 metres long. The dam was built using local stone and is a testament to the engineering skills of the time. It is a popular spot for photographers, who come to capture the stunning views of the reservoir and the surrounding countryside. Overall, Audenshaw Reservoir is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy some peace and tranquillity in a beautiful natural setting.
