It's still a welcome site for people today who need reviving after a long walk or cycle ride. Greenfield village nestles below Dovestone Reservoir. It has several shops including a bakery and chemist. There is also a cycle shop which comes in handy for many of the cyclists that come to enjoy the cycle paths which cross the area. There are also many quite roads suitable for cyclists and walkers alike.
Dovestone reservoir has a sailing club where courses are run for beginners.
There is ample car parking, but during summer weekends and bank holidays get there early to ensure you find a place. It has lots of information on local wildlife. The canal is to the rear where a pleasent walk can be undertaken down stream to the Museum and Art Gallery at Uppermill.
