アーシントンの湖・トップ15

Some parts can get muddy if there’s been a lot of rain, one section by the cafe is very uneven. Mostly flat, beautiful views of the lake. Very popular with dog walkers and runners.

Parking can be found just off North Lane on the west side, and just south of the village of Fewston on the east side of the reservoir. Great walking route all the way around, with the best views from the east side.

Lindley Wood is a compensation reservoir, which means it is not linked to the supply of water to homes but is there to take excess water from Fewston and Swinsty reservoirs, which are nearby. This is why there is not much water in there.

Waterloo Lake covers 33 acres (13.3 hectres) and is a popular place for rowers, with a relative new rowing club that was first started in 2006. There is a walking trail that takes in a delightfully scenic 5 kilometre (approximately 3.1 miles) loop of the park and both Waterloo Lake and Upper Lake.

This reservoir is one of the oldest in the Washbourn Valley; it was built between 1869 and 1876. The other three reservoirs here are Thruscross, Swinsty and Fewston. Walking around the reservoir is a truly aesthetic, soul-beautifying experience. The green wooded banks, woodland and reservoir paths and open countryside... what else would anyone want in life?... oh, sunsets here are unbelievable.

Just need to be respectful of walkers and dogs You are allowed to ride on the Bridleway parts bUt not supposed to around pond

worth a stop to see the swans and signets

Swinsty Reservoir was completed in 1878, just before Fewston Reservoir, which is just upstream. Yorkshire Water own and manage both reservoirs. The circular path is suitable for all and very popular, and the surrounding area is managed for wildlife.
