A hidden gem and interesting story behind the construction of the Temple. Beautiful views and an interesting undulating walk through stunning countryside.

This is a lovely area of woodland made up of coniferous and deciduous trees. Although it doesn't have direct historical ties to ancient Druids, the name still offers a sense of mysticism. Nearby you can find the Gouthwaite Reservoir and town of Pateley Bridge.

the drive to the temple was well worth it. You will find a cafe, and family area, before a short walk up to the temple. the set up of the rock formations is mind blowing, but very interesting. a big tick for me to visit again.

A picturesque footbridge over the peacefully flowing River Burn. This river has its source above Colsterdale and goes later to join the River Ure near Masham.

Work was started on the Leighton reservoir in 1908 but due to the war and various setbacks it wasn’t officially completed until 1941. It provides water for the surrounding area and helps maintain the levels in the river Ure. The Swinton Estate own the land around the reservoir and stock it for fishing.

This isn't an actual temple, it's a 19th century folly created to provide employment for local people by the wealthy landowner William Danby. It's styled as a smaller version of Stone Henge and although only 200 years old it's still atmospheric and worth a visit.

Swinton Bivouac is a glamping site owned by the nearby Swinton estate. You can stay in yurts, tree lodges or in the old farmhouse building. The Bistro is open to residents and non-residents, serving snacks, simple meals, drinks and cake. It's open Sun to Thurs from 9:00 - 17:00 and Fri & Sat 9:00 - 20:00.
