Ogston Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding the local valley in 1958. The flooding covered the village of Woolley as well as a pub, farmland and a section of the Ashover Light Railway.
The reservoir provides drinking water to the local area and is also used as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water.
Today it's managed as a water source and leisure ground. The footpaths around the reservoir are popular locally. The Ogston sailing club is known for starting off Ellen MacArthur and it's also a popular trout fishing lake.
