Upper Roddlesworth Reservoir

The larger and most recently constructed of the three reservoirs at Roddlesworth.

With walking paths around the perimeter, up to Ryal Fold and down to Abbey Village.

Very scenic with pine trees giving a different look to other local lakes but the footpaths can be very muddy on the southern side.
