            935
Taken Grimwith Reservoir situated in the Yorkshire Dales Hebdon Skipton North Yorkshire while walking round it(4.5miles)

 With a surface area of 1.47 square kilometres (0.57 sq mi) and holding 21,772,000 cubic metres (4.789×109 imp gal) of water it is Yorkshire Water's largest reservoir.
The original reservoir was built in 1864 by the Bradford Corporation, the Local Authority for the city of Bradford, approximately 288 metres (945 ft) above sea level in Wharfedale.This involved the abandonment of the hamlets of Grimwith and Gate Up, which would be flooded as part of the reservoir. Grimwith was intended to be a compensation reservoir, rather than be used for storage, and of the eleven reservoirs built by the Bradford Corporation, Grimwith was the most distant at 20 miles (32 km) from Bradford town centre (Bradford at that time, was not yet a city).[5] Following an agreement made in 1970 the size of the reservoir was increased by seven times and the water level was raised by 20 metres (66 ft), with work starting in 1976 and being completed in 1983
