    Tips

    I think you'll struggle to get over the stone wall and through the vegetation to the water's edge. There are dozens of great impromptu picnic spots all the way around both reservoirs, and the picnic spot next to Fewston car park on the eastern side of Swinsty Reservoir has wooden tables and magnificent views.
      Enjoy lunch around here-lakeside and a few log seats!
