Sunshine on Yorkshire

Swinsty Reservoir is a reservoir in the Washburn valley north of Otley and west of Harrogate in Yorkshire, England. Construction began in 1871 and was completed in 1878. The capacity is about 866 million gallons, with a surface area of 63 hectares. It can be found from the A59 road.

The reservoir is below and directly adjoining Fewston Reservoir. The area around the reservoirs is popular with walkers.

What appears to be a steam train in the distance is actually a fire in or near the wood on the horizon.
