Reservoir - Public closure 11-13 August

Published 12:23 on 10 Aug 2026

Due to the hot temperatures forecast on Wednesday and Thursday this week, Bristol Water will be putting a temporary suspension of public access in place. This will prevent public access to the two car parks and the crest road that circumnavigates the reservoir. This temporary suspension of public access will be in place between Tuesday 11th August around 8pm and Thursday 13th August around 8pm. This may be extended if temperatures do not drop, but it is too early to tell at the moment.

Sailing club members and anyone attending a course will still have access to the reservoir, but please ensure that the barriers are put back in place once you have entered/exited the car park.
