Angram Reservoir Claimed

Angram Reservoir is the first of three reservoirs on the River Nidd in Upper Nidderdale completed in 1919 and with a height of 61 m ( 200 ft), the others being Scar House Reservoir and finally the compensation reservoir Gouthwaite Reservoir. 

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.

The water is transferred to Chellow Heights via the Nidd Aqueduct using gravity only and no pumping.

There is a shelter near the dam, but no other facilities.

Near the dam of Scar House Reservoir, 1.2 miles (2 km) from the dam of Angram Reservoir, there is a car park, picnic areas and WCs. There is a footpath across the dam and around the reservoir.

Fishing is not permitted at the reservoir.
