This easy, four-mile stroll around Fernilee Reservoir is a walk of two halves. The western path is through woodland, and the opposite side along a disused railway track.
It’s possible to slightly shorten this walk by simply crossing the dam wall at the northern end of the reservoir. But I prefer to go a little further, crossing the Goyt about half a mile down stream.
The return path along the river bank reveals the picturesque scenery which was lost forever following the construction of the twin reservoirs.
