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".

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.

St Michael and St Lawrence's Church, Fewston
St Michael and St Lawrence's Church is an Anglican church in Fewston, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
A church was first built in Fewston in the 12th century, and the mediaeval tower survives. The remainder of the church was rebuilt in 1697, from which time the font also dates. The tower was restored in about 1800, while the church was further altered later in the century. It was grade II* listed in 1987.
The church is built of gritstone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a five-bay nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a three-bay chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, round-arched bell openings with an impost band, a coved cornice, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The porch has a shallow segmental arch, pilasters, a projecting band, and a dated keystone, above which is a pulvinated frieze, a cornice, a coped gable with shaped kneelers, and a cross at the apex.
