Swinsty Reservoir
Swinsty is the lowest of three impounding reservoirs for water supply in the Washburn Valley, the others being Fewston (middle) and Thruscross (upper). There is also Lindley Wood reservoir lower down the valley, used only for compensation water. Swinsty was built in the 1870s, holds just under 4 million cubic metres of water, and supplies water to the Leeds area.
