Angram Reservoir

About

Angram Reservoir is the first of three reservoirs on the River Nidd in Upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England, the others being Scar House Reservoir and finally the compensation reservoir Gouthwaite Reservoir. It is located at OS map reference SE040759. Between them they attract around 150,000 visitors a year. The reservoir takes its name from Angram, a settlement in the township of Stonebeck Up, submerged when the reservoir was completed in 1919. Little Whernside (604 metres [1, 982 ft]) to the north and Great Whernside (704 metres [2, 310 ft]) to the west of the reservoir are close by. The River Nidd flows for approximately 2 miles (3 km) from the flanks of Great Whernside before joining the reservoir.
