Elevation

Explore the Dovestone Three Reservoirs

Location: Oldham, Peak District, England

Discover the beauty of Oldham's Peak District with this scenic 7.3km loop around three reservoirs, starting conveniently from Dove Stone Reservoir Car Park. You'll enjoy a varied run on well-maintained paths and some grassy trails. The majority of the ascent is covered early on as you gain elevation, offering rewarding views throughout.

This route is ideal for those seeking a picturesque escape, whether for a refreshing training run or simply to soak in the tranquil surroundings. While mostly on good surfaces, a section of grassy trail past the upper reservoirs can be challenging in wet weather. It’s a perfect option for a moderately challenging yet accessible outing in this stunning corner of Greater Manchester.

Really enjoyed this run. There are others that I run around Dovestone reservoir and up on the moor that aren’t on Skamper
