About Langsett

The rugged moorland landscape forms a dramatic backdrop to Langsett, a village that embodies the enduring spirit of the South Yorkshire Pennines. It lies 4.3 km south-west of Penistone (from Penistone: bearing 230°T, OS grid SE 212 004), and is situated west-north-west of Midhopestones village. Historically, the area around Langsett was shaped by agriculture and, more recently, by the construction of the Langsett Reservoir, a significant feature that now dominates the immediate surroundings. This expansive body of water, completed in the late 19th century, not only serves as a vital water source but also provides a popular recreational area for walkers and nature enthusiasts. The surrounding moorland, part of the larger Peak District National Park, offers breathtaking views and a sense of wild, untamed beauty that draws visitors seeking tranquility and outdoor pursuits. Langsett itself retains a quiet, rural charm, with a scattering of stone-built cottages reflecting its long-established presence in this picturesque corner of England.
