Walk: The Four Reservoir Walk
Not one, not two but FOUR reservoirs of Yateholme, Riding Wood, Ramsden & Brownhill, on this easy walk near Holmbridge which appears to be a lot longer than it actually is… The Route what3words for start point: ///flight.tissue.electric Start / Finish Point: Yorkshire Water free car park on Brownhill Lane, HD9 2QW Distance: 3 Miles GPX Route Map walkshirethefourreservoirwalkDownload Walk Description From Ramsden Reservoir Car Park, turn right on the road and after a short while, turn left at the large blue Yorkshire Water sign for Ramsden. Follow this path as it turns sharp right to cross the reservoir embankment - looking right to see Brownhill Reservoir - and then sharp right again to walk away from the reservoir. Soon, at the waymarked post signed "Kirklees Way Public Footpath" carry straight on along the boundary and cross over the stile. Head right to walk up the slight incline of Netherley, and then turn right to follow the boundary to the corner. Turn left and follow the clear path to Holme Wood Lane. Turn left and follow the road around to the right, and then around to the left to walk along the north edge of Yateholme Reservoir. Continue walking on the road and you reach the north embankment of Riding Wood Reservoir. Follow the road as it turns left but turn right almost immediately to walk up the walled track opposite the house. Keep to the left of the junctions and head through the wood. As you emerge, ignore the road to the right and continue straight on along the footpath, then taking a left turn to walk along another walled track. This track meets a road, and here turn left to return to the car park.
Walk: Digley Reservoir
An easy, but varied walk through fields, alongside woods and just on the edge of the moor near Holmbridge. The Route what3words for start point: ///spell.cemented.props Start / Finish Point: Digley Quarry Car Park, Holmfirth, HD9 2QD Distance: 2 Miles GPX Route Map walkshiredigleyreservoirDownload Walk Description From the Digley Quarry Car Park, go up the steps in the bank towards the reservoir and join a walled lane. Turn right along the lane - which first heads uphill but soon starts to drop. Ignore the first gap in the wall on the right, which leads to the quarry. Stay on the lane and towards the bottom of the slope, some shallow steps climb up to the right. Follow these onto a path between fields and woods. When you reach another set of steps, use these to drop and follow the clear path which soon bears right onto a walled lane. Follow this lane for a short while to where it forks. There is a bench between the two lanes, and here, keep left and descend, veering left and through a metal gate, to Bilberry Dam. Walk across the dam and follow the path to the left up the hill. Continue on this path and through a gate in the wall until you reach a gate and bridge over the stream. With the reservoir to your left, follow the path, which soon bends to the left, through a gate and down to Digley South Car Park. Cross the car park, to where you meet the road. Taking care, turn left along the road, which soon becomes paved, and crosses the reservoir embankment. Turn left at the end, and where the road curves to the right, go through a gate on the left and follow the path and the steps back to Digley Quarry Car Park.
Walk: Digley Reservoir
A lovely walk around the amazing Digley reservoir on the outskirts of Holmfirth, in the Holme Valley. The Route what3words for start point: ///flaking.reminder.introduce Start Point: Digley Reservoir, free parking at Digley Quarry Car Park (nearest postcode HD9 2QD) or Digley South Car Park (nearest postcode HD9 2RX). Finish Point: Digley Reservoir Distance: 2 Miles GPX Route Map digley-reservoirDownload Walk Description Use the onsite carpark, don't park on the roadside. Follow the path way on the northern side side of the water, which shares the path with the much longer Kirklees Way. The path skirts the edge of the water and darts in and out of woodland which provides some beautiful plant life especially the bluebells in the spring time. Before turning back towards the car park you will pass by the smaller Bilberry reservoir which has lovely views back across the valley.
