the River Washburn, a major gathering ground for
>> Yorkshire Water with three reservoirs.
>>
Lindley Wood, Fewston, Swinsty & Thrusscross which was ( I think) the last of the 4 reservoirs to be built.
I know them well...walked from Thrusscross earlier this year, a circular over Barden Fell to Simons Seat, the headwaters of the Washburn rising just to the NE. Views beyond Menwith Hill to York that particular day. Pal lives in Skipton, which is more local, so we drove in his car just in case plod were checking reg plates.
I recommend the Nidderdale Way if you’re in the area again. Most pleasant.
