A sweeping view looking west across Lower Swineshaw reservoir, cradled between Hobson Moor and the surrounding upland hills. The dark green band of woodland conceals Brushes and Walkerwood reservoirs. Rolling moorland slopes rise to either side, dotted with electricity pylons and crisscrossed by winding trails. In the far distance, the Manchester skyline stands faintly against a backdrop of low clouds and a bright summer sky.

Three sheep graze and stand alert in a grassy upland pasture beside Lower Swineshaw reservoir. One sheep faces the camera directly, while the others feed with heads lowered. A traditional dry-stone wall runs behind them, with rolling moorland visible in the distance beneath a dramatic sky filled with layered cumulus clouds.

A grassy moorland path descends towards Lower Swineshaw reservoir, bordered by traditional dry-stone walls and wooden gates. The surrounding upland scenery features rolling green pasture, patches of brown heather moorland, and scattered pylons stretching across the horizon. The reservoir lies nestled in a shallow valley, with the higher Pennine hills and Saddleworth Moor forming the distant backdrop under a sky of bright blue and scattered cumulus clouds.

View downhill and northwards from the moorland path towards Swineshaw, with Lower Swineshaw Reservoir clearly visible and the depleted Higher Swineshaw Reservoir beyond it. The rolling hills are covered in summer grasses and patches of blooming purple heather (Calluna vulgaris), with a lone walker on the track. The distant slopes of the Pennines are dappled in sunlight and shadow under a partly cloudy sky.
