Upper Roddlesworth is around 60 ft at its deepest point. Like Lower Roddlesworth, it has only one embankment which is 397 yards long. The reservoir can hold 178 million gallons. Its inflow is the River Roddlesworth. It has a large curved overflow at the northern end of the embankment and it makes a nice sight when in full flow. There is also a good footbridge that crosses it, which is part of a footpath that skirts the reservoir. It is more scenic than Lower Roddlesworth

   

Upper Roddlesworth is popular with fishermen

Tranquil scene at the eastern end of the reservoir. Delightful walking area too
