Located on the edge of the Peak District but just a stone’s throw away from Oldham, Dovestones Reservoir provides you with dramatic scenery without having to travel far. It’s also home to some of the most impressive views in Greater Manchester.
Dovestones is the lowest and largest of three reservoirs in the Greenfield Valley, located above the village of Greenfield. Further up are Yeoman Hey Reservoir and Greenfield Reservoirs.
It’s an area which is rich in wildlife as well as natural beauty. With rolling moorland and tranquil water, it’s the perfect place to escape to for an afternoon.
