Yateholme Reservoir
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.

Yateholme Reservoir. The reservoir was constructed in the 1870s following the submission of the Batley Corporation Water Bill to Parliament in 1871 which initially proposed to build five reservoirs in the area.
Brownshill and Yateholme Reservoirs
A nice view across the water from the footpath.
Riding Wood Reservoir. Located just to the east of the lake. Just follow the woodland track from the eastern end of Yateholme.
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.
