For this week's Sunday Stroll picture we pay a return visit to Knott Hill Reservoir.
Of course, looking at this photo, you may well wonder where the water is! Knott Hill is a reservoir that is no longer in use. Much of the reservoir bed has gone back to nature, with bushes and trees growing, with a much smaller area of water in the lowest part of the reservoir bed. The path you see in the photo runs right around the old reservoir and originally was at the water's edge! The tree-filled valley was originally where the water was!
This is the point where the footpath that starts from Gorsey Lane, Hazelhurst, meets the path around the reservoir. It is a pleasant and popular short walk.

hi knot hill reasarvoir looks over grown from when i fished there in the 60s it would have took you about 40 minutes to walk round the water , it was well kept nice paths , i wonder if the keepers house is still there ???
ReplyDeleteMy Great-grandfather used to live in the keepers cottage and ran the res, he was sad to see it go
Deletei fished not hill in the 70 s with my dad it is scary how deep this place was where the trees are at the egge the water used to be, nowadays its very low with lots of wildlife rabbits fox, badger & a very big Heron which is resident on the lake, ther are some big fish still in there & i have joined the fishing club that runs the resevoir ( Rhino Anglers ) the old house which was on the resevoir is not there anymore ( The Barons House for those who remeber ) there is still some rmanins of the garden & a picnic area half way round the resvoir beuitiful scenery * nature certainly has claimed it back
