Grimwith Reservoir | Walks in the Yorkshire Dales National Park

Описание: Grimwith Reservoir walk.

A 2-mile walk around Grimwith Reservoir on the eastern fringe of the Yorkshire Dales National Park in Wharfedale.

Grimwith Reservoir is one of the best places to see wildfowl in the Yorkshire Dales. Taking a pair of binoculars is recommended for the chance to see wigeon, teal, greylag and Canada geese on the water.

In the film, you can see ground-nesting birds such as oystercatchers and lapwing, and if you listen carefully you can hear the distinctive call of the curlew.

The route to the east follows a well-surfaced track to a width of at least 200cm. There are some gradients reaching 1:8 to access the water’s edge but most of the route is relatively flat. The first section of the route to the west passes over the dam and is unsurfaced. From here, the track is surfaced with some gradients reaching a 1:6.

Getting there: Grimwith Reservoir lies on the B6265 between
Grassington and Pateley Bridge. Turn left along the access track when
you see the Yorkshire Water sign.

Facilities: Wheelchair accessible toilets are available at the
Grimwith Reservoir car park. There are free public parking facilities at
the site.
