Welcome to Butlocks Heath Reservoir

The Reservoir: Now privately owned, can be viewed from the public footpath, running along the dam wall. During the Summer, several species of dragon fly and damselfly can be seen skimming over the water and the lilies. Many waterfowl visit the peaceful haven and Kingfishers can often be sighted.

The reservoir was dug circa: 1870 for the new Royal Victoria Hospital, Netley which was opened in 1863. Although it is 1.5 miles from the hospital, its purpose was to supply the ablution water and water for the laundry.
