Overview

A circular walk from Cod Beck Reservoir to Swainby and back through woods, moors, fields and some quiet roads. Quite a ‘higgeldy-piggedly’ up and down walk where you also encounter a few stiles and a couple of fairly steep ascents (poles recommended). At this time of year there is quite a lot of bracken, thistles and nettles, so long trousers are recommended.
