The Bessborough Reservoir is an embanked reservoir south of the River Thames in Surrey near the Knight Reservoir and the Molesey Reservoirs. The A3050 runs to the north of the reservoir and the neighbouring town is Molesey to the east. It forms part the green buffer between Molesey and Walton on Thames. The reservoir is the borough of Elmbridge.
The Bessborough and Knight Reservoirs were built by the Southwark and Vauxhall Waterworks Company, whose works were across the river at Hampton. Work began in 1898 replacing an old mansion and its farmed or landscaped estate, a manor, named Apps Court, and the reservoirs opened in 1907. They have a combined area of 125.5 acres and hold 1,198 million imperial gallons .
