Errwood Reservoir
About the waters
Errwood Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District
National Park, Derbyshire, close to the counties of Cheshire and
Staffordshire. The reservoir was the second of two reservoirs built by
flooding the Goyt Valley, the other one being Fernilee Reservoir, to
which EFFC also has fishing access. It was constructed by the Stockport
Water Corporation at a cost of £1.5 million, with work being completed
in 1967.
Errwood is currently owned and operated by United Utilities. The
reservoir provides drinking water for the town of Stockport and its
surrounding areas, and when full holds 4,215 million litres of water.
In addition to Errwood Reservoir, EFFC also controls fishing, for Club
Members, on Fernilee Reservoir, which offers challenging fishing for
wild brown trout and perch. The Club also holds regular, fun competitions
and currently offers affiliated angling on other trout waters in the
region
