One of the most visited areas of the Upper Goyt Valley is Shooters Clough, popular walks include the ruins of Errwood Hall and the Spanish Shrine. A small feeder stream emerges from the moorlands above Errwood Reservoir and winds its way down the valley until it enters Errwood at Shooters Clough Bridge. The area in front of the bridge can be fished from either Duffers Bank or the West Bank. The water here is very deep close in with depths in excess of 50 feet.

During summer months especially in holiday periods this area can become popular with tourists who seem intent on trespassing onto United Utilities land; however our bailiffs, the police, landowners and park rangers our doing their best to prevent public access to the banks.

When water levels are very low machinery left in the reservoir is visible from the bridge.
