🦋Take Part in the Big Butterfly Count! 17th July - 9th August 💮
Butterflies are a great indicator of the health of the environment, and you can help by taking part in this year's Big Butterfly Count.
Simply pick up your free id sheet from the visitor centre, find a sunny spot around the site, and see how many different butterflies you can spot! It's a fun activity for all ages and helps support important conservation work.

☀️ With a hot few days forecast, please take care of yourself 😎

💦 Keep hydrated - we have a refill station on site and also drinks are available to buy from our onsite café.
🏊‍♂️⛔ Swimming is strictly prohibited - our reservoirs are made to supply water and are extremely deep with hidden infrastructure and hidden currents, this makes them unsafe to swim in.
🥵 Use sunscreen, wear a hat and keep out of the sun at the hottest part of the day.
🔥⛔ No fires or BBQs allowed on site. Why not bring a picnic instead or visit the onsite restaurant.

❗️❗️❗️An update on the earlier footpath closure... The contractors have cracked on this morning and it is now open. Work is still ongoing so please keep dogs on leads and follow the signage. Thank you. 😊

🚧 CIRCULAR FOOTPATH CLOSURE 🚧
Unfortunately we have had to close the footpath from Crabapple to the dam again today due to the number of people ignoring the barriers and closure signs and henceforth the contractors have to keep stopping to allow them safe passage, therefore making the timeline for the job stretch out. Hopefully it will be open for the weekend!
PLEASE WATCH THIS SPACE FOR UPDATES.

Dear visitors, we want to inform you that part of the circular footpath around Tittesworth Reservoir will be closed for maintenance Thursday 9th July. We understand how much you enjoy exploring our beautiful trails, and we appreciate your patience as we work to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Please look out for barriers and signs. Please keep dogs on leads. Thank you.

🚧 Closure Details:
Location: Tittesworth Reservoir
Closed Route: Circular route from Grabapple to the Dam
When: From 7am July the 9th

Join us for a swift walk at Tittesworth Water on Tuesday 30th June !
As part of UK Swift awareness week Tittesworth will be hosting a special swift walk led by Swifts Over Macc & Swifts of Leek, two local groups who are passionate about protecting these incredible birds. They work to raise awareness of the needs of swifts, encourage the installation of swift nest boxes, share information, and support projects that help increase biodiversity across the area - including Leek, home to the region's largest swift colony.
Come along on Tuesday 30th June at 6pm to learn more about swifts, discover how we can support them, and enjoy an evening walk at Tittesworth Water.
