The area around Trentabank reservoir is a nature reserve, managed by the Cheshire Wildlife Trust and is home to the largest heronry in the Peak District. Since the forest has a lot to offer it attracts a great variety of people, including families, walkers, cyclists, mountain bikers, horse riders and even fishermen.

You can also stop at Trentabank Car Park, located pretty much half way through the walk to grab a drink there.

Toilet facilities: Although there are no public toilets along the trail, there are public toilets available at a few points on the route we did. You are in the north of England so weather conditions can change quickly. I highly recommend wearing proper walking shoes and weather appropriate clothing.
