Gouthwaite Reservoir Turrets                      ​ SE 141 683

Gouthwaite Reservoir was constructed between 1893 and 1901 as a compensation reservoir, to maintain the flow of the River Nidd during periods of low rainfall. 

​Gouthwaite White Hall, an Elizabethan manor house and home of the Yorke family, was submerged beneath the reservoir. Gouthwaite Hall was rebuilt with materials from the old hall.
