When this immense civil engineering project was completed the reservoirs formed the largest body of man-made water in the world, and were Europe’s first major conservation scheme.
Bottoms Reservoir is a man-made lake in Tintwistle, Derbyshire. It was constructed between 1865 and 1877, as part of the Longendale chain to supply water from the River Etherow to the urban areas of Greater Manchester.
The Longdendale Reservoirs and their catchment area are today managed by United Utilities for the public supply of water to North West England.
Bottoms Reservoir Fishing
The fishing rights used to belong to a club called Glossop Angling, but due to the cost of holding such a substantial amount of water it had to let it go, so it is currently free fishing.
