Swinsty Reservoir is a popular place for walking and as the road passes right across one of its dams, it also makes for a scenic place to ride your bike. It is particularly beautiful in autumn when it is bathed in the golden hues of the surrounding trees.
The reservoir was built between 1871 and 1878 and is fed from Fewston Reservoir, right next door.
