River Hodder entering Stocks Reservoir The photo shows the point at which the River Hodder enters the Stocks Reservoir. The reservoir is at a particularly low level. It was opened in 1932 and supplies Blackpool and the Fylde coast. There are a number of waymarked forest walks and cycle routes. Trout fishing is available.

Bird hide above the shore of Stocks Reservoir Tucked away on the edge of the forest, overlooking the shore of Stocks Reservoir, United Utilities have provided this and at least one other wildlife hide. It really is quite well concealed, whilst offering a clear view over many geese at the upstream end of the water (at least today). A barbed wire fence effectively deters one from getting any closer to the water, or, indeed, getting a clearer picture of the hide itself.

Copped Hill Clough below Brunton Laithe The stream of Copped Hill Clough has cut quite a deep, tree-lined valley as it descends from Brunton Laithe towards its confluence with the River Hodder to flow into Stocks Reservoir. On the far side is a public footpath that manages to avoid contact with the minor road until 200m to the southwest (uphill) from this point.
