At the bridge bear right to cross the beck and then follow the gravel path anti-clockwise around the reservoir and then along the dam back to the car. For lunch, turn right on Keithly road and there is the Moorlands Inn pub after 3/4 mile on the left. Open weekdays midday until 10pm for food/drink.
