Please note that the Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park is temporarily closed at present, but will reopen on the 18th April 2024. The gardens are stunning with atypical, some certainly "Himalayan" sculptures and art, massive amount of fabulous flowers, a couple of lakes, beautiful paths and, yes, you guessed it, a tearoom! Obviously, none of stuff like this is for free, so check the Garden's website for entry fees and more information: https://www.himalayangarden.com/

There is a valve tower here on the dam on the Roundhill Reservoir (the larger Leighton Reservoir to the north-east). The dam was built by the town of Harrogate between 1903 and 1911. The water was pumped from here to Harlow Hill in Harrogate.

The fountain pond in Hackfall Forest is well worth finding. The fountain works from a hand pump that you must pressurize yourself. There is an information board and example of the old wooden pipes that used to carry water to the pond and fountain. There is also a small folly close by.

A stunning garden, with some unusual and interesting Sculptures. One of the highlights of our holiday and highly recommended.

Lovely garden and sculpture trail hidden in a steep valley. Reasonable climb up from Ripon. But once you get there you can refresh at the cafe and have a wander through the trees, enter Himalayan huts, spot sculptures and chill by the lakes.

Scar House Reservoir’s dam was the largest in Britain when it was finished in 1936. Measuring 1,800 feet (549 metres) long and 170 feet (52 metres) high, the reservoir was constructed to supply Bradford’s booming mills, along with Angram Reservoir, which is a short distance up the River Nidd. These days, you will find the dam and reservoir to be an impressive spectacle nestled amidst stunning scenery.
