Upper Rivington Reservoir is nestled centrally in the Rivington chain of reservoirs, on the West Pennine Moors in Lancashire, England between the tourist honeypots of Rivington and Anglezarke. Featuring an island, and renowned buildings such as The Street, it is a popular walking destination, sited with Anglezarke Reservoir to the north, Lower Rivington Reservoir to the south, and Yarrow reservoir to the east.

Street Bottoms and Street Wood were lost with the formation of the reservoir.
