Bosley Reservoir is a large reservoir created to feed the Macclesfield Canal system, specifically the 12 Bosley locks. It is fed from the surrounding hills, including Bosley Cloud which rises to 1,125 feet (343 m).

The canal is owned and maintained by British Waterways and is popular with local anglers, birdwatchers and walkers.
