About Eccup Reservoir Leeds Eccup reservoir is a reservoir in Alwoodley, a suburb of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. It was constructed in 1830 and is the largest area of water in West Yorkshire. Sandmoor Golf Club is just to the south and Harewood House to the north. The reservoir is now home to a growing population of red kites. These were introduced into the area as part of a national programme in 1999 and now number over 100. The reservoir was declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1987. Local rumours and historical maps suggest there was once a Roman settlement underneath the reservoir, or in an area surrounding it. Local rumour also suggests that a big cat lives (or has lived) in the area, with at least one sighting in the 1990s. Ord survey map ref SE3041	Additional Information This is a public group.
