   Enjoy walking round reservoirs as the water authorities always provide great walks and it's fairly level. We walked with two dogs and almost everyone with dogs had them off lead, they just had to be on the lead when crossing the dam and nearing the Blubberhouses car park. It made a really nice easy walk and we would have liked to have time to walk Swinston Reservoir as well but took time finding a parking space as the main car park was full.

   Beautiful walk, did it by accident, we meant to do swinsty as shorter but my 90 year old mum managed the 4.5 miles

   Fascinating place to visit at the moment as the water is so low. Looks quite different. Helped that it was a beautiful sunny morning. Love how the path goes all the way around. (parts of which have been recently restored to very high standards) Dog friendly - we like it because our dog can be off lead most of the way round (I do put her on round on one section towards the south west part between blubberhouses and beecroft moor plantation because there are sheep in the fields there.

   Visited on a bank holiday Monday, nice and quiet, toilets and on site icecream vendors. There are plenty of benches or grassy areas for picnics. Plenty of parking. Easy, medium or long walks, wheel/push chair accessible paths are handy.

   A great spot for a leisurely walk which lovely views and plentiful spots for a picnic. Parking is chargeable but unfortunately there’s minimal facilities provided as a result, not even a bin, but fortunately there are a good number dog bins around the actual reservoir and walk. A decent spot for a few hours out in good weather.

   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.

   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.

   Love driving past and through here, beautiful part of the world. Will never get fed up of working in and around here, great for walking Fido to. Dorove past the other day and it’s looking a little dry though.

   Nice place for a stroll. We could not explore alot since it was getting a bit late, but overall felt very nice and peaceful. Carpark was vast and free. Toilets were in a reasonable condition as well.
