Mountain biking
Often reservoirs are surrounded by rather desolate hills with few trees. Happily, the trio of reservoirs here on the River Roddlesworth are somewhat different! Surrounded by beautiful mature deciduous woodland these paths are perfect for a relaxed ride.

Hiking
The trio of reservoirs on the River Roddlesworth, surrounded by gorgeous woodland, make for a peaceful ramble at any time of year. There are numerous trails that explore the banks and the forest, ideal for an afternoon stroll. Dog-walkers are welcome, as long as you keep your hound on a lead.
Upper Roddlesworth is the highest of the three, with Lower Roddlesworth in the middle and Rake Brook Reservoir slightly lower still. They are connected to the reservoirs at Rivington by a canal called the Goit.

There are a couple of benches which are perfectly placed to spend some time to take in the scenery or to stop for lunch.
