Overview

This is a circular walk from Blubberhouses taking paths around Fewston and Swinsty reservoirs and walking beside the River Washburn to Dobpark Bridge, an ancient packhorse bridge. If time allows we can visit the Washburn Heritage Centre and cafe at Fewston before walking back around the east side of Fewston Reservoir to the A59 to catch the bus back to Harrogate.
