Clowbridge Reservoir
Manchester Road (A682), Clowbridge, between Burnley and Rawtenstall, BB11 5PF · Blackburn & Burnley
A United Utilities reservoir on the moors between Burnley and Rawtenstall with an accessible circular path all the way round the water, plus woodland trails and a picnic area near the car park. Sailing, windsurfing and coarse fishing run through Rossendale Valley Sailing Club, and the site links to bridleways for longer adventures. It also makes a good starting point for walks up to the Singing Ringing Tree at Crown Point.
Spark Hub tip: Dogs are welcome on most of the site but not on the reservoir circular path; check United Utilities' seasonal warnings about blue-green algae before letting kids near the water's edge.
