Fewston Reservoir
Fewston Reservoir is located in the Washburn valley north of Otley and west of Harrogate in Yorkshire, England. It was built in 1879. The capacity is about 3.5 million cubic metres. It can be found from the A59 road. The overflow from the reservoir feeds directly into the adjoining Swinsty Reservoir. Formerly, this overflow was encircled by a metal walkway from which floodboards could be lowered, but this has since been removed. The reservoir is the property of Yorkshire Water, which manages it for the benefit of walkers, anglers and wildlife. Situated in the charming Washburn valley, sharing an embankment with Swinsty Reservoir, Fewston is popular with walkers and runners. Cyclists and horse-riders can also make use of their own permitted tracks in the surrounding woodlands.

Washburn Valley
The Washburn Valley is a 16-mile (26 km) long dale in North Yorkshire, England. Although adjacent to the Yorkshire Dales National Park, the valley is not classed as one of the dales and is actually located within the Nidderdale AONB. The valley was historically in the West Riding of Yorkshire, but has been within North Yorkshire since 1974. The valley's main river is the Washburn which has been adapted for water storage and is host to four reservoirs which were originally built to supply water to Leeds. The presence of four large reservoirs led to the valley being referred to as the "Leeds' Lake District".

Snowden Crags
Snowden Crags is a prehistoric archaeological site on Askwith Moor in North Yorkshire, England. Local antiquarian Eric Cowling recorded a stone circle and a concentration of cairns at the location in a 1946 survey, but the site remained obscure due to the density of heather covering it for most of the year. It was rediscovered in 2010 by amateur archaeologist Paul Bennett, who described the stone circle in more detail and noted the presence of a robber trench of unknown date at its centre.
A neighbouring area of moorland, Snowden Carr, contains a large amount of prehistoric rock carvings that were also recorded by Cowling.
