Digley Reservoir


Digley Reservoir is a lake located next to Bilberry Reservoir, 2 miles SouthWest of the West Yorkshire Town, Holmfirth.
The area is associated with the TV sitcom ‘Last Of The Summer Wine’, which was filmed in Holmfirth and the surrounding areas. The reservoir has a picnic area, two free car parks and there are also some benches around the lake that provide a quiet place of reflection. There are two main walking routes, the long walking route is 5 miles and goes as far as Blackpool Bridge in Holmfirth. The shorter route is an easy circular Peak District walk around the reservoirs, which starts at the car park at the North Eastern end of the reservoir, off Gibriding Lane. It leads around to the North End of the reservoir on Kirklees Way, passing by Bilberry reservoir through to Digley Wood on the southern side of the water, before returning to the car park using Fieldhead Lane.
The reservoir is a source of water for Yorkshire and Yorkshire Water provide the free car parking plus walking route maps to follow. Their Digley, Bilberry and Beyond Walk is 5.5 miles long and the Digley Walk is 1.5 miles.
