It was originally built by the Bradford Corporation as one of eleven reservoirs in the Yorkshire Dales to supply fresh water to Bradford. It is the largest reservoir owned by Yorkshire Water in terms of water storage. HistoryGrimwith (pronounced Grim'ath)[2] is accessed from the B6265 road {{convert|1.5|mi|km}} east of Hebden and {{convert|8|mi|km}} west of Pateley Bridge. With a surface area of {{convert|1.47|km2|sqmi}} and holding {{convert|21772000|m3|impgal}} of water it is Yorkshire Water's largest reservoir.[3] The original reservoir was built in 1864 by the Bradford Corporation, the Local Authority for the city of Bradford, approximately {{convert|300|m|ft}} above sea level in Wharfedale.[3] 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 {{convert|20|mi}} from Bradford town centre (Bradford at that time, was not yet a city).[4] Following an agreement made in 1970 the size of the reservoir was increased by seven times and the water level was raised by {{convert|20|m|ft}}, with work starting in 1976 and being completed in 1983.[5] The reservoir outlet is the site of a renewable energy project that saw the installation of a small turbine that generates 1400 MWh of electricity per annum.[6] The reservoir is an important area for birds and is home to wildfowl such as Eurasian wigeon, teal, greylag geese and Canada geese.[7] Other birds that can be seen at various times in the area include ringed plover, northern lapwing, common redshank, Eurasian curlew, reed bunting, lesser redpoll, whinchat and sedge warbler.[8] The reservoir is a popular destination for leisure activities such as sailing (the Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club have their facilities on the south side of the reservoir),[9] walking and visitors to Stump Cross Caverns.[3][7] A {{convert|7.2|km|order=flip|adj=on}} wheelchair-accessible footpath / track circumnavigates the reservoir.[10][11] At the eastern end of the reservoir is a grade II listed barn. The Cruck Barn used to be further west, but was reconstructed on its present site above the waterline to preserve it. This type of barn is rare for the Yorkshire Dales. Its origins were in the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1982 when the reservoir was extended.[12][13] GalleryReferences1. ^{{cite web|title=Grimwith Reservoir|url=http://environment.data.gov.uk/catchment-planning/WaterBody/GB30429866|website=Catchment Data Explorer|publisher=Environment Agency|accessdate=6 June 2016}} 2. ^{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Jonathan |title=COUNTRY WALK: A circuit of Grimwith Reservoir |url=https://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/16293461.country-walk-a-circuit-of-grimwith-reservoir/ |accessdate=7 January 2019 |work=York Press |date=16 June 2018}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshirewater.com/?OBH=249&ID=2070|title=Grimwith reservoir|publisher=Yorkshire Water|accessdate=22 August 2008}} 4. ^{{cite web |last1=Dennison |first1=Ed |title=Grimwith House, Grimwith Reservoir, Appletreewick, North Yorkshire; Architectural Assessment |url=http://www.outofoblivion.org.uk/pdfs/reports/SYD13704-grimwith-house.pdf |website=outofoblivion.org.uk |accessdate=7 January 2019 |page=5 |format=PDF |date=January 2011}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Craven Through The Years|url=http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/2425168.Craven_through_the_years/|accessdate=30 November 2015|work=Telegraph and Argus|date=15 August 2008}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.jnbentley.co.uk/344/grimwith.html?phpMyAdmin=9u7flC0jCFuYj%2CtE2Sm4tkDsWx2|title=Renewable energy|accessdate=12 October 2011}} 7. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/grimwith_reservoir.htm|title=Grimwith Reservoir|publisher=Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority|accessdate=22 August 2008}} 8. ^{{cite news |last1=Smith |first1=Jonathan |title=Peaceful circuit of reservoir |work=Darlington & Stockton Times |issue=29-2018 |date=20 July 2018 |page=61|issn=2516-5348}} 9. ^{{cite news |last1=Tate |first1=Lesley |title=An easy walk round Grimwith Reservoir - and watch out for the spaceship |url=https://www.cravenherald.co.uk/daleslife/walking/14426697.an-easy-walk-round-grimwith-reservoir-and-watch-out-for-the-spaceship/ |accessdate=7 January 2019 |work=Craven Herald |date=14 April 2016}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Walk 1573 - Grimwith Reservoir|url=http://www.walkingbritain.co.uk/walk-1573-description|website=Walking Britain|accessdate=6 June 2016}} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Smith|first1=Bob|title=Dales 'missing link' improved to help disabled visitors at Grimwith Reservoir|url=http://www.grough.co.uk/magazine/2015/10/23/dales-missing-link-improved-to-help-disabled-visitors-at-grimwith-reservoir#|website=Grough|publisher=grough.co.uk|accessdate=6 June 2016}} 12. ^{{cite web |title=Out of Oblivion: A landscape through time |url=http://www.outofoblivion.org.uk/record.asp?id=256 |website=www.outofoblivion.org.uk |accessdate=7 January 2019}} 13. ^{{NHLE|desc=Grimwith High Laithe|num=1131787|grade=II|accessdate=7 January 2018}} External links
