Embark on the Thruscross Reservoir and Cloggers Lane loop, an easy hike that takes you around the tranquil waters of Thruscross Reservoir. This circular route spans 4.7 miles (7.5 km) and involves a gentle elevation gain of 220 feet (67 metres), making it a rewarding outdoor experience you can complete in about 1 hour and 59 minutes. You will discover varied landscapes, from peaceful woodland and open moorland to crags, streams, and sections alongside the River Washburn.
When planning your visit, be aware that while the trail is easy, the terrain can be rugged and varied, including rough pastures, rocky sections, and potentially muddy banks with tree roots. Sturdy boots are highly recommended to navigate these conditions, and the route is not suitable for prams. You will find parking available at Thruscross Reservoir Car Park, ensuring convenient access to this peaceful, remote escape.
One of the unique features of this hike is the opportunity to see the Ruins of West End Village. These historical remnants become visible when the reservoir's water levels are low, adding an intriguing layer of history to your walk through the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This detail makes the route particularly special, offering more than just scenic views.
