West Water Reservoir

Highlight • Natural Monument

West Water Reservoir is stunningly sitting at the foot of Pentlands Hills and a short walk from West Linton Golf Course. It is a Site of Special Scientific Interest. The reason for this is that in the autumn and winter the reservoir is host to a large roost of pink-footed geese at an average peak number of over 40,000 birds. You can park your car in the village or nearby golf course and take this easy 5k walk to the reservoir. There are two main paths, above or under the golf course. Parking is free, golf course car park is only for the members of a golf course. Loads of sheep and wildlife birds chirping and suawking around. Enjoy!
