Angram Reservoir is the first of two reservoirs on the River Nidd in Upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England, the other being Scar House Reservoir. It is located at OS map reference SE040759. Between them they attract around 150,000 visitors a year.
Nidderdale is recognised as an Area of Natural Outstanding Beauty surrounded by wild, rugged and remote land with spectacular views.
Little and Great Whernside are the two summits on the ridge to the north and to the west of Angram Reservoir, they reach heights of 605 and 704 metres above sea level.
Angram and Scar House were built to supply water to the Bradford area of West Yorkshire. Water from here is transferred to Chellow Heights via the Nidd Aqueduct, which is a major engineering achievement as it doesn't involve any pumping.
