keep an eye on dog walkers

The original stone bridge was built in 1609. It was restored in 1884 following flood damage (Source: Yorkshire Dales National Park)

Lovely little road with great views and a good surface.

What a fantastic tea room. Stopped for a break and lunch on the Dales Way. They had stopped serving food by the time we arrived but rustled us up a sandwich for our journey so very grateful! Worth a stop and lovely friendly owners.

Very unusual, looks more like an older stone dwellinghouse rather than a church. More information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence_Chapel,_Dacre and https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1298747?section=official-list-entry

Fair sized and well-maintained car park with space for at least 30-40+ vehicles. Few picnic tables at the south-eastern end of the car park. There is also space for a few cars if you park off-road next to Thruscross Reservoir Lodge, on Reservoir Road on the eastern side of the dam, but these spots tend to fill up quickly.

If you are enthusiastic enough to walk around all three reservoirs (Thruscross, Fewston, and Swinsty), clocking in at 15 miles, then you will see that Thruscross has the most spectacular dam of the three. If you follow the track from the car park at the western end of the dam, to the south towards the River Washburn, a track that descends quite steeply, then you will be rewarded with imposing views of the face of the dam.

The path underneath is formally closed, but locals still walk it.
