Wessenden Valley

Wessenden Valley

The Wessenden Valley is a moorland valley situated south of the small town of Marsden in the English county of West Yorkshire. The valley was cut by the Wessenden Brook, a tributary of the River Colne. The valley is occupied by four reservoirs, namely (from the top) Wessenden Head, Wessenden, Blakeley and Butterley reservoirs, the last being the largest. The Kirklees Way and Pennine Way long-distance footpaths both follow the valley.
