Ogden Water is
owned by Yorkshire Water and managed on their
behalf by Calderdale Countryside Services and
was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2003.
The Estate comprises a 34 acre reservoir
enclosed by woodland with open moor beyond. The
heather uplands and peat moors form part of a
Special Protection Area, that is of
international importance for breeding birds.
There are numerous
woodland trails and waterside paths to explore,
with stunning views extending across Calderdale.
Ogden is also an excellent base to explore the
wider South Pennines by foot or bike.
There are over 2 km of wheelchair accessible
paths around the reservoir. There are a number
of designated car park spaces. A wheelchair and
electric scooter are available to loan from the
visitor centre. The visitor centre is open most
days, 10am to 4pm.
