Howden Reservoir

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Howden Reservoir is a Y-shaped reservoir, one of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The longest arm is around 1.25 miles in length. The reservoir is bounded at the southern end by Howden Dam; below this, the River Derwent flows immediately into Derwent Reservoir and subsequently the Ladybower Reservoir. Other tributaries include the River Westend, Howden Clough and Linch Clough.

To the east of the reservoir stands the hill of Featherbed Moss, one of the highest tops in the area at 545m, and one of several tops of that name in the area.
