Description

A beautiful quiet location, with views across the reservoirs. The trees are wonderful all year round. A popular spot for a gentle stroll. The dam wall and the lane are flat and level with a good surface and are suitable for wheel chair users or those who find uneven surfaces difficult.

Most of the paths on these walks are Yorkshire Water permissive paths.
