Yateholme Reservoir

1 mile (1.6 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap This walk visits Yateholme Reservoir in Holmfirth. You can follow trails around the small reservoir and enjoy some fine views over the surrounding moors.
The trail runs for about a mile with some pleasant woodland encircling the site. Ramsden Reservoir and Riding Wood Reservoir are very close by so it's easy to extend your walking around these two other bodies of water.
The transmitter and viewpoint at Holme Moss lies just to the west.

Netherley Clough. This stream runs just to the north of the reservoir. It is formed by the confluence of Holme Woods Dike and Gusset Dike at Kiln Bent Bridge. It then flows north-easterly to Ramsden Reservoir. Its tributaries include the Yateholme Reservoir spillway and Great Bent Dike. At the north eastern end of the reservoir there's a footpath heading north to the stream and bridge.

Grassy path off Kiln Bank Road, Holme. A view of a woodland path just north of the site. This was a field path in 1850, and then in the 1960s a narrow fenced path between plantations. Now it is pleasantly wide.
