Good quality paths all the way around Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs, with parking at Swinsty Moor Plantation, Fewston village and Blubberhouses. The paths around both Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs are generally wide and flat. There are benches at periodic intervals on the eastern side of the reservoirs, where you can take a break and admire the views.
