Important notice
Tucking Mill Reservoir closure
The reservoir will be closed from 19 May 2025 for approximately six weeks while we make improvements to the anglers’ car park.
Other work will then take place around the site for up to a year and a diversion to the public footpath will be in place. The fishery will reopen during this time using the dam swims only. The toilet and back swims near the viaduct will be closed, but an accessible toilet will be available near the dam.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
