Winscar Reservoir

A high moorland reservoir above Dunford Bridge, with a wide tarmac bridleway carrying National Cycle Route 68 between the two Yorkshire Water car parks at Broad Hill and Windle Edge. Yorkshire Water's own description is that the track is flat for its entire length, which makes this the only surfaced level walk of any size at this altitude in the borough and the obvious choice on a wet day or with an older dog. The reservoir was built in the 1850s and enlarged in the 1970s, and the exposed moor around it means wind is the deciding factor rather than mud. Combine it with the Trans Pennine Trail, which ends at Dunford Bridge car park a few hundred yards away.
