Tips

Hiking

Roundhill Reservoir was built to supply water to Harrogate and construction was finished in 1911. It occupies a lonely and beautifully desolate spot on the moors to the west of Masham and is smaller than neighbouring Leighton Reservoir. An intriguing stone tower stands proudly on the moorland above the reservoir. This is a sighting tower that was used to triangulate the end points of a water tunnel that ran from here to Harrogate.
