Washburn Dam
Washburn Dam is a huge cement dam sitting at the southern end of the Thruscross Reservoir. There is a scenic 5 mile walk along the bank of the reservoir, then up through moorland and back through woodland that has many photogenic views. The section of the river between Thruscross Reservoir and Fewston Reservoir is used for whitewater kayaking when water is released by Yorkshire Water. Being peaceful and quite dark (little light pollution) makes this area a great spot to experiment with astrophotography. (Harrogate, England)
