Another one of Bradfords hidden treasures. This is such a beautiful place for a walk or run. It's not a place where I would take my kids for safety reasons. The dam walls are level with the trail or footpath, and there are no handrails around, so they could trip and fall in easily if left to run freely. It's more a place to escape for a while. Take in the fresh air and listen to the soothing sounds of the birds in the trees and the ducks in the water. The trail through the woods is a bit boggy in areas but good for the most part. It gets very narrow but provides fantastic views over looking the reservoir. Free parking is available at the entrance on Howarth Road. It really a magical place.

Lovely and tranquil, easy to get round both reservoirs in an hour. Loads of geese and ducks.

Chellow Dean Reservoir: "Stunning views and peaceful surroundings. Perfect for a relaxing walk!"

Visited on two consecutive sunny days. Free on street parking at one entrance and a proper but small car park off Howarth Road. Walking path around the two reservoirs including a woodland walk. Nice for a short stroll but place busy with noisy and disruptive gangs of boys. Doesn't make you feel safe. Saw people swimming in the top reservoir.

We live locally, love the peaceful & fresh atmosphere everytime we are out there. Good place for long walk & trekking. Weather was perfect and we even met some amazing people out there. If you love nature, please do visit this place. Our favorite spot for weekend walks.

Love this reservoir for walking around. It's about 1.5 miles to walk around both parts of the water. There's decent stepping stones which are fun to walk across. There's also a trail around the wooded section high above the water and also links to public footpaths through the golf course and the disused quarry nearby.
