4의 스루크로스 저수지가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Imposing and deserted building overlooking the northern end of Thruscross Reservoir. Recorded by the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Group in 1976: "The 1841 census return shows it to have been occupied by a young unmarried woman called Ann Young farming over 200 acres; a family with the same surname contemporaneously occupied Whit Moor Farm with a similar acreage."

Undoubtedly the most scenic of the Washburn reservoirs with the moorland backdrop to the north. The circular route around the reservoir from the car park is about 5 miles, the track on the southwestern side runs along the edge of plantations and offers some shade from the sun and shelter from the elements. The track on the northeastern side is more exposed, and if you do the whole circuit you will cross over Far Comb Hill and the plantation along the edge of the reservoir at Whit Moor - a great route.

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.

Different experience on each side of the reservoir. The track on the west / southwestern side is shaded and slightly elevated, running along the edge of plantations, and Scot Lane on the eastern side is a bit more exposed. A full circular route of the reservoir is around 5 miles or so.

The walk from the large car park at Thruscross Reservoir dam up the west side of the reservoir to Cloggers Lane is magical and gives far better views than the tracks along Scot Lane on the eastern side. The track meanders along the edge of coniferous plantations, giving dappled shade on a sunny day and unobstructed views across the reservoir.

Scot Lane runs on the northern bank of the reservoir. A pleasant, relatively newly planted hedge runs along this bank, and the views of the reservoir are lovely; you will be able to make out the dam from here on the opposite side of it.

It is very odd to think that an entire village once existed here, but that's what you're looking at here. The entire village of West End. Cloggers Lane dropped here towards Patrick's Mill, the Butcher's Arm and a church, all of which vanished under the Thruscross Reservoir in the mid 1960s. A curious, eerie sight.

There are four reservoirs in the Washburn Valley, and this one is the northernmost. What distinguishes this one from the other three is also the fact that this one was built in 1966 while the other ones in the 19th century. The reservoir belongs to Yorkshire Water, the water company. From Reservoir Road in particular, the views of the reservoir are stunning - particularly given that you are high above. Sunsets here are just something else!
