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.

This bridge was built by The Leeds Corporation and carries the Masham/Lofthouse road over the reservoir. It's an interesting multi-arched construction, pleasant to look at, with rather lovely views of the reservoir from the bridge itself.

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.

Really nice cafe set away from the road. Good a real 'croft' vibe to it. Beautifully positioned above the valley, but it's a steep climb shortly after no matter which way you go out!

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.
