The Tottiford, Kennick, and Trenchford Reservoirs are three man-made, connected fresh water reservoirs near Hennock, Devon. They form three of the eight reservoirs built within the Dartmoor National Park, and were built to serve the water needs of Torquay, around 13 miles (21 km) away. Tottiford was the first to be constructed, being opened in 1861, followed by the higher Kennick in 1884. Trenchford is the lowest elevation of the three, and was completed in 1907. The reservoirs dam the Beadon Brook, with Trenchford also being fed by the Trenchford stream, which then continue after the water works to join the River Teign near Trusham.
