Hiking
Within walking distance of Otley and Harrogate, Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs are popular with walkers. Their tranquil waterside trails are a great introduction to the scenic delights of the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Washburn Valley. Keep an eye out for a sculpture of the head of Achelous. The Greek god, who is associated with the longest river in Greece and father to the infamous Sirens, watches over Swinsty Reservoir.
