Went to this place on the NHS help to move programme. Did a gentle , silent circular walk around the Fewston reservoir where most of the stretch was covered and bit of sunshine here and there. It’s a easy walk with not much ups and downs. There were senior people who were around 60 years of age who did this trail with us. If you wanna have your lunch amidst the woods facing the water then this spot is definitely for you.

Such a great place for a walk. There’s a couple of car parks one at each end of the walk, we tend to park at the one between the two reservoirs where there’s toilets and a coffee/ice cream van. There’s decent parking and usually space, on New Year’s Day it’s very busy and you may need to wait or find somewhere else to park. The walk is great all nice paths and great scenery. Dogs love it and there is a spot where sheep are in the next field and some of the wall is low so worth keeping your dog on a lead around there if they’re likely to chase them. When you finish you can head back over the bridge back to the car park or start the walk around swinsty which is just as nice but a bit smaller.

What a great walk and the views are amazing. It's a steady walk around the reservoir and takes a hour and a half depending on your pace. The paths are all stoned up and at certain points you do have to cross roads to get to the following path. There is ample places to park your car and it feels safe to leave your car in the car parks. Lots of geese and swans on the reservoir so be sure to take some seed with you.

Beautiful peaceful place for walk at anytime of the year. Currently free parking (although this will change in 2023). Two reservoir walls together. 10.5km around both or 6.5km around Fewston and 5km around Swinsty. Yorkshire Water has improved access for wheel chairs around both and there are toilets at the car park off the damn between the two of them. The other two car parks have no facilities.

Quiet, lovely to see reservoir full again, bonus of Yorkshire ice cream in car park and loos open again. Parking currently free, but looks like payment machines being installed in the summer.
