A Walk Round Linacre Reservoirs.


Date taken Spring 23th. May. Autumn 17th. October.

There are 3 reservoirs at Linacre, built between 1855 and 1904 and, they hold more than 240 million gallons of water.
The reservoirs are surrounded by fields and bluebell woods.There are several trails around the Linacre Reservoirs.
The paths are well defined and you can make up any length of walk you like. You can see oak trees, along with
beech, alder, larch and pine.
Conifers are often planted next to reservoirs for two reasons. They keep away farm animals which might pollute the water and, after a few years,
they can be sold for timber.
The car parks are off the B6050 just through Cutthorpe and are open all year round.
