Swinsty Reservoir weir and outflow
The horseshoe weir which controls the level of Swinsty Reservoir in the Washburn Valley. There are four reservoirs in this valley: Thruscross (which has a drowned village in its depths, the remains of which are visible when the water level is very low: the last time I saw it in the early 1990s, the arch of the bridge was still standing and the remains of the church were visible), Fewston, Swinsty and Lindley Wood.
