Belvide Reservoir is a reservoir in South Staffordshire, England. Owned by British Waterways, it was constructed c. 1833 to feed the Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal, which is now the Shropshire Union Canal. The Thomas Telford round gear house is a Grade II* listed building. It is the site of a nature reserve, operated by the West Midland Bird Club and is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). Entry is by permit only. This reservoir has been visited by many scarce and rare migrant birds, including White-winged Black Tern (1970, 1974, 1992, 1999), Whiskered Tern (1969), Caspian Tern (1968, 1992), Spotted Crake and Spotted Sandpiper (1982). The nearest village is Brewood. The A5 runs close to the north shore, crossed by the canal nearby, at Stretton Aqueduct. This the third cache placed to celebrate Aaron's 10th birthday and to get here you will have to pass the original hiding spot which afford great views over the reservoir, however despite being a tarmac road it was also inside an SSSI hence the move here.
