Walk details:

A 6.6 mile leisurely circular walk to blow away the cobwebs from the night before, around Fewston and Swinsty Reservoirs just west of Harrogate.

Meeting place:
Swinsty & Fewston Reservoir Car Park, North Lane, Otley LS21 2NP. for 10:30am

We'll start the walk from the reservoir’s northern car park. Exit the car park onto the nearby road. Turn right and cross the Swinsty Reservoir causeway. Next, our route takes a southward turn. Following the eastern banks of the reservoir until we reach the quaint Swinsty Cottage. Press on, crossing the impressive Swinsty Embankment. Upon reaching the other side, we'll shift our path northwards, leading us to the historic Swinsty Hall.

From Swinsty Hall, we'll set course north-west on the Six Dales Trail. This leg of the Swinsty Reservoir walk threads you through the beautiful Swinsty Moor Plantation, culminating at the southern end of Fewston Embankment.

We'll continue our Swinsty Reservoir walk heading north-west. Following the picturesque banks of Fewston Reservoir. Our next stop is the car park at Blubberhouses. From here, we'll climb the steps leading to the main road. Make a right turn, cross the River Washburn bridge, and then return to the marked footpath on the right.
The final stretch of our Swinsty Reservoir walk skirts along the northern edge of Fewston Reservoir. Keeping the reservoir to our right and advance to the northern tip of the Fewston Embankment. Our journey rounds off along the northern shoreline of Swinsty Reservoir, bringing us back to the car park.

We might have time for a swift half or a cure at The Sun Inn at Norwood before we return home after a great weekend. Hopefully see you all there.

James.
