Torside Reservoir Walks & Route Maps

The Torside Reservoir is in the beautiful Longdendale Valley and is one of five reservoirs.

Our first walk starting from the Torside Car Park is a lovely short and easy walk mainly travelling along the Longendale Trail which runs along a disused railway and the Torside Path.

Starting from Torside Car Park, this walk is easy and quite short, however it is also very rewarding with lots of variety and interest and lovely views over the reservoir. There is a good opportunity to spot wildlife on this walk.

Old Glossop is a good place to visit for refreshments at a local pub or cafe.

Our second walk from the lovely Torside Reservoir is similar to Walk 1 but we have added a tail which is a short there and back to a viewing point where you can stand and admire the views over the Valehouse Reservoir in one direction and the Rhodeswood Reservoir in the other direction.

As with Walk 1 most of the walk is travelling along the Longendale Trail which runs along a disused railway and the Torside Path. This walk has a bit more hill climbing but nothing very strenuous. There is a good opportunity to spot wildlife on this walk.
