    Hiking

    If you're not feeling very energetic you can just do the one reservoir.

    Great walk for dogs.

    Hiking

    Small bridge at the southern end of the dam allows you to peer over and see the overflow for Fewston Reservoir and the sloping masonry weirs that channel overflow down into Swinsty Reservoir. Great views of both reservoirs northwest to Fewston and southeast to Swinsty.

    Hiking

    Built in 1879 the dam holds back Fewston Reservoir. It's managed by Yorkshire Water as a reservoir and sanctuary for the local wildlife. It's also a very popular recreational area with a great circular path suitable for all users.
    The dam is a great place for a sunrise photo!
