Jurassic Park Singletrack

Highlight • Forest

Nice little trail, can be ridden either way but East to West is riding downhill

Tip by

This reservoir is one of the oldest in the Washbourn Valley; it was built between 1869 and 1876. The other three reservoirs here are Thruscross, Swinsty and Fewston.

Walking around the reservoir is a truly aesthetic, soul-beautifying experience. The green wooded banks, woodland and reservoir paths and open countryside... what else would anyone want in life?... oh, sunsets here are unbelievable.

Picnic Spot by the River Washburn

Highlight • Viewpoint

If you head across the bridge, away from Norwood Edge, and take the first right to continue along the river Washburn you can double back a little and sit on the grassy bank by the bridge. A perfect spot to tuck into your picnic!

Dangerous Road Section Near Nidderdale National Landscape

Highlight • Natural

Loved the route along the path through the wood to the bridge after the dam, but turn around there and come back, don't do the loop. The road section is very dangerous.
