Fernilee Reservoir is a drinking-water reservoir in the Peak District National Park, within the county of Derbyshire and very close to the boundary with Cheshire. The reservoir was the first of two reservoirs built in the Goyt Valley, the other being Errwood Reservoir. It was constructed by the Stockport Water Corporation at a cost of £480,000, with work being completed in 1938. It is currently owned and operated by United Utilities. The reservoir provides drinking water for the town of Stockport and its surrounding areas, and it holds 4,940 million litres of water.​

 ​

While we were in the area it seemed a good idea to see this before the 360's move in and destroy it. On arrival it seemed like the whole place was sealed tight, however after some thinking outside the box and a sketchy climb we found our entrance. Didn't stay for long, many things to do.​

Some cool bits in there, liking that derpy room with the spiral stairs and the large hall. What is it though?? Was this a pumping station or something?
