Yorkshire Water Recreation   Accessibilty  |  Legal 
  

Only available in Yorkshire.

Yorkshire has an enormous amount on offer with sweeping valleys, tranquil waters and woodlands teeming with wildlife.

As one of the region’s biggest landowners we think it is only fair that such areas of natural beauty are made accessible to everyone. 

To help you get out and get active we've introduced an assortment of exciting activities at sites across the county for adults and children of varying abilities. 

Lace up your walking boots, pump up the tyres on that bike and brush the dust off that old fishing rod and come and experience the great Yorkshire outdoors.

Family Walking

Activities for children - help them to get out and get active

We know how difficult it is to entice children away from their games console and TV, so we've developed a range of activities which they can complete at home, or during a walk at one of our recreation sites.

Why not get involved and help your children colour in a picture or tackle a wordsearch? If you're going on a walk take along our wildlife spotter cards,  a bag to collect leaves or a quiz set around reservoir walks at Swinsty, Baitings, Brayton Barff or Damflask. 

You can download any of the activities listed below.  We hope you enjoy them!

When visiting our reservoirs you must adhere to on-site health and safety guidelines and ensure children do so.  Visitors to our premises do so at their own risk and we accept no liability for any loss, damage or injury incurred as a result of any visit to our premises. Visit yorkshirewater.com/reservoirsafety to find out more about reservoir safety.
