Hiking
Howden Reservoir was completed in 1912. It's the highest of the three Derwent Reservoirs. The River Derwent flows into the northern arm and the River Westend flows into the western arm. After the Howden Dam the Derwent flows almost directly into the Derwent Reservoir and from there into the Ladybower Reservoir.
You can walk most of the way around the reservoir but you can't cross the Howden Dam so to create a circular walk you need to loop Derwent Reservoir as well.
