Brilliant walk around the reservoir and easy to follow path, also suitable for running (which is what we did)
There was a good sized car park but didn’t catch whether there are fees.

Entwistle is a lovely walk. It's about 5-6k from start to finish. There is only 1 short incline and the decline has steps. There are many locations for a great photo, my favorite being at the mid point of the longer side when you are crossing the reservoir. Really good for a dog walk and can also be used as a nice countryside jog

Wow! what a beautiful walk absolutely tranquil, especially with my dog Tia she loved it.

Great dog walking. Lovely views across the reservoir. Parking is on the road so golet there early for space. Great all year round but wear wellies if it's rained a lot. End the walk with a pint in the excellent Strawberry Duck pub near the station.

Beautiful place to walk at anytime of the year and day although quite low levels today but that means to see a different side to the reservoir. Many different walls that can be done here not just around the reservoir itself. There are routes to the other linked reservoirs and a moderate amount of parking although be careful on the road in and out as passing is hard and there are deep gullies at the side of the tarmac.

Went for a lovely family walk over Easter bank holiday weekend. We originally went to Jumbles but it was that busy there was nowhere to park so decided to try Entwistle which was about a further 10 minutes away. We are glad we went though as it was much quieter and we were able to enjoy the walk with much less people about. It is lovely and clean and very calming. There are a few benches along the walk around the reservoir and a few small areas closer to the water that you can get down to if you want to like we did. Well worth a visit if you like walking and nature.

There is parking nearby although we didn't find it. There is a walk around. You can either walk around just a part, or around the entire reservoir. Most of the way is flat. Part of the path is downhill, very little uphill, and there is a bit with steps up. You can see the reservoir most of the way around. In dry weather it is mostly dry.
