Piethorne Reservoir

Piethorne Reservoir sits at the upper end of Piethorne Valley, with woodland walks on the North side and and paths round the shore to the East.

Piethorne Reservior has some rather interesting in-fall structures including a rather extravagant waterfall down from Norman Hill Reservoir to the Northeast and a strange syphon at the bottom of the feeder down from Rooden Reservoir.

The gateposts at the Southwest corner of Piethorne Reservoir have an OS benchmark on the left when facing the water.
