The Yorkshire Village of Fewston

The Yorkshire Village of Fewston

The resevoir North of Yorkshire Village at Fewston is a hidden place in the countryside. This gem is six miles west of Harrogate.
One of the many great attractions of the North Yorkshire countryside is an abundance of unexpected and unspoiled places hidden like small jewels amongst the trees and hills, and one such gem is the Fewston/Swinsty reservoir area, situated about six miles west of Harrogate, accessible only by meandering country roads. It lies just out of sight of the futuristic giant ‘golf balls’ of the Menwith Hills radar station, in part of the ancient forest of Knaresborough.
Cradled by an arc of country road, which cuts across the water at both ends before disappearing into the woods and hills of the surrounding countryside, is the tiny village of Fewston, which consists of a few buildings of local granite and fields surrounded by the unmortared stone walls of the area.
The parish probably got its name from the Norman ‘fuist’, meaning lofty trees. It was once much larger, occupying most of the ancient forest, including Great Timble, Blubberhouses, Clifton-with-Norwood, and Thruscross, some 17,644 acres.
Approaching from the south the traveler emerges suddenly from a tunnel of trees to cross the solid stone Fewston Embankment, and on the left lies the flat, calm water, with a few silent fishermen, immobile on the shoreline. It is almost impossible to drive on. The car must be parked, the silence can be almost tasted. You can walk from here along the curving road and around the two reservoirs, or take one of the paths across the wooded fields to the Swinsty reservoir.
At the end of the embankment, an imposing mansion overlooks the water, and the road curves sharply, revealing a picture-book cottage and post office, outside which sits a bright red pillar box, incongruous against the gray stone of the buildings and misty green of the trees. On the opposite side of the road one catches tantalizing glimpses of water glinting through the trees. A little further is the central anchor of the village, the old church of St Michael and St Lawrence, with the Parochial Hall a few yards away. This church is said to have been destroyed twice by fire, and was altered extensively in the 14th century. The first vicar was Dom William Plesitz (1234 – 1280), the second was brother Walter De La Mere, of the asinine order, a university man.
The church, then, has served the spiritual and social needs of the village and surrounding area for over 700 years. Dedicated to both saints, it is a plain, unimposing and abiding place of worship.
Further on along the gentle curve of the road, past hidden, scattered houses, and fields enclosed by moss-covered walls, lies the Swinsty Tea Gardens, warm in winter, cool in summer, a haven for hikers and travelers. Across the road is a park area, bordering the western edge of the Swinsty reservoir. Framed in trees, lighted by the late afternoon sun, the waters are suddenly disturbed by the raucous quacking of a flock of geese, and the splash of a large white swan. Looking across the water, one traces the road, which, a few yards further on, again crosses the water, and plunges into the tree-covered hills.




Nottingham tourist information, sightseeing this beautiful city

Nottingham tourist information, sightseeing this beautiful city

Recommended sightseeing in Nottingham, UK. This beautiful city has a lot more to offer other than Robin Hood – it has the oldest pub in Great Britain, a rich history in lace production, and some stunning architecture.
Situated in the East Midlands, Nottingham is a beautiful city rich in history, natural beauty and stunning architecture.
Nottingham’s most famous export is, of course Robin Hood. This dashing outlaw, portrayed on screen by the likes of Errol Flynn, Kevin Costner and Daffy Duck, is celebrated in numerous attractions around the city. The most impressive of these is The Tales of Robin Hood, which is situated in the City centre just five minutes away from Nottingham Castle. The Tales of Robin Hood has been described as “a little disneyland”, and offers a dazzling interactive experience with adventure rides, detective games and archery practice. In the evening the doors are opened on their sumptuous banqueting halls where authentic medieval banquets can be enjoyed at a very reasonable price.
Once you’ve had your fill of Robin Hood there is plenty more Nottingham to enjoy. There are museums and attractions to suit all tastes including a museum of costume and textiles, a museum celebrating the history of the Nottingham area and several galleries showcasing both classic and contemporary art.
If museums and galleries really aren’t your thing, then why not visit “Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem”. Known to the locals as “The Trip”, it’s the oldest pub in England, and the best place in the city to take a break and enjoy a traditional English pint.
One of the most beautiful sights of Nottingham is its stunning architecture. From the central point of the city, the Council House Building on Old Market Square to striking new designs of the Inland Revenue buildings at Castle Meadow, Nottingham boasts some of the finest architecture in the country.
To escape from the hustle and bustle of the city, just take a short drive to the village of Edwinstowe, where you will find yourself surrounded in beautiful countryside and, once more, immersed in the legend that is Robin Hood. You can even see Robin’s former hideout – the Major Oak is still standing and can be seen at The Sherwood Forest Visitors Centre. There are also some beautiful walks around this area, along with nature reserves and stately homes.
