Thruscross Reservoir - Walk
Address/Location
Contact
This walk of 4.5 miles follows the edge of Thruscross Reservoir, the top most and newest reservoir of the Washburn Valley.
Often referred to as ‘West End’ after the village it swallowed up, Thruscross is famous for the appearance of the village when water levels hit severe lows.
Covid 19 May Update
We have identified this page as one of those receiving much higher than average traffic at this time. We understand you may be looking for a quiet walking spot during this period, however the volume of traffic to this page suggests that this site may be busy meaning that at times physical distancing may be difficult. Please consider looking for an alternative destination or visiting at a potentially quiet time such as evening or early morning.
Thruscross Reservoir has inspired the DCI Banks novel “A Dry Season” for just this reason.
Sitting on the edge of the moors the reservoir has become a home for many wildlife species and its remote location means it feels more tranquil than the other Washburn Reservoirs.
Basic parking and Picnic facilities are provided.
