Walshaw Dean Reservoirs
Reservoirs in West Yorkshire, England
53.7994°N 2.0514°W Walshaw Dean Reservoirs are three reservoirs situated above Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire, England. They are between Hebden Bridge and Top Withins, a ruined farmhouse near Haworth, the reputed inspiration for "Wuthering Heights" in the novel of the same name by Emily Brontë.[1]
The reservoirs' catchments are dominated by peatland habitats.[2] The reservoirs drain into the Calder Valley.
On 19 May 1989 Walshaw Dean Lodge entered the UK Weather Records with the Highest 120-min total rainfall at 193 mm; however, the Met Office expresses 'reservations' about this record.[3]
