The Redmires Reservoirs are a group of three reservoirs in Fulwood, Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. They are fed from the Hallam Moors by various small streams including Fairthorn Clough. The three reservoirs are named Upper, Middle and Lower and date from the mid 1800s. The area is popular with walkers and bird watchers. A path from the Upper reservoir leads onto the moors and to Stanage Pole.
