Durleigh reservoir at Durleigh in Somerset, England covers 80 acres (32 ha) and was formed in 1938 when Durleigh brook, a tributary of the River Parrett, was dammed. The reservoir's original purpose was to provide water for the newly built British Cellophane Factory in Bridgwater. It is used for coarse fishing, particularly carp, roach, bream, perch, tench and pike.
