Ogden Reservoirs


Upper and Lower Ogden Reservoirs are half a mile to the west of the village of Barley, in the Borough of Pendle, England. They supply drinking water to the town of Nelson.
Three forests covering more than can be found close to the reservoirs. Fell Wood, which is the largest, was planted in 1931 and contains Norway Spruce, Sitka Spruce, Scots Pine and European Larch. Blue Wood, which was originally planted in 1935 with Scots Pine, Sitka Spruce and Larch was felled and replanted in 1981. The third forest: Buttock Plantation, was planted in 1935 with Sitka Spruce and Larch.
