Embsay Reservoir is located above the village of Embsay, near Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Yorkshire Water, and is used to supply water to the north and west of Skipton, feeding 25,000 homes. It has a dam height of 24m (79ft).
The reservoir was built by Skipton Urban District Council to service the needs of a rapidly rising population in the area. Forty acres of Embsay Pasture were compulsorily purchased in 1905, and work started almost immediately, with the main contract being awarded to the specialist company, Messrs G H Hill and Son. Work was completed before the end of 1909, and the reservoir was full by January 10 of the following year. It was officially opened on June 21, 1910. No dwelling houses were submerged.
The reservoir is used for leisure activities such as sailing, fishing, and walking, and is the home of the Craven Sailing Club. There are car parking facilities for visitors.
Embsay is a village in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England., and is situated about 2 miles (3km) north-east from Skipton. The village and the neighbouring village of Eastby form the civil parish of Embsay with Eastby, which had a population of 1,758 in 2001.
Geography
At the foot of Embsay Crag, a rock formation north of the village, is Embsay Reservoir. The crag marks the start of Barden Moor, an expanse of open moorland which is open access land and used by walkers. There are two reservoirs on the moor: Upper Barden Reservoir and Lower Barden Reservoir. The smaller reservoir is the headquarters of Craven Sailing Club.
Community
Embsay Village Hall events include film nights, pantomimes, bowls, and jumble sales.
The village has a newsagents on the main road. The dedicated post office closed; a counter in a newspaper shop now serves as a post office. Other businesses in Embsay are a hairdresser and an arts and crafts store. Embsay has two public houses: the Elm Tree Inn and the Cavendish Arms. The Elm Tree Inn and Elm Tree Square take their names from a tree that stood there for many years. It was replaced in the late 20thcentury because of Dutch elm disease, but in 2006 that replacement was also taken down. A further replacement was planted in 2007.

Afternoon Tea On A Steam Train | Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway

Taking a ride on a steam train is a fantastic experience in itself, but add an afternoon tea to the mix and it's the icing on the cake! (with a cherry on top). We visited Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway for the afternoon, and had an hour-long round trip starting at Bolton Abbey station, and stopping at Embsay station along the way. The view out of the window was lovely! There was plenty of farmland to see and also some gorgeous houses. The two stations were a treat to walk around, and both had lovely tea rooms where you can sit and admire the trains.

Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Heritage Railway ¦ A visit and tour along the line
The Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam railway is a lovely heritage railway in the southern border of the English Yorkshire Dales. Being in the area, I just “had” to take a tour along the line, explore the stations, look at the restored carriages and enjoy the sights and sounds of the heritage steam railway.
The 0-6-0 tank engine, Welsh Guardsman, was energetic and atmospheric as it pushed and pulled the carriages about for the passengers. I looked out for the 1903 Petrol-Electric Autocar but didn’t see it this time. I did catch a glimpse of the 6-wheel saloon dating back to 1899.
This is an extra video, a change from the regular schedule. I hope you enjoy watching it and feel that you have tagged along with me during my visit.

Tablet & Staff works at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey railway
Thanks to our colleagues Peter and Dan at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey railways s and t department we get to see the recent installation of tablet machines between Embsay and Stoneacre and also the miniature staff machines between Stoneacre and Bolton Abbey (the latter used as an electric staff system rather than a pair of instruments whilst the works to ring Bolton Abbey box into use continue.
For interest the miniature staff instruments hark from the ex Longmoor military railway and are the only used as designed versions in English use, the nearest being the Ffestiniog versions in Wales converted to digital operation.

Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway Full Journey (4k)
Enjoy a railway journey down the line from Embsay to Bolton Abbey along the stunning Yorkshire countryside.
Filmed on a very fresh windy winters day, this steam train journey is simply stunning, and although the weather did threaten to rain all morning we managed to get some blue skies and stunning views. Three 4 mile journey is absolutely spectacular.
Taken from a camera attached to the very front of Beatrice, this is the second best way to enjoy this line, the first of course is visiting in person:

I found this to be an enjoyable and cheap day out with plenty of things to do and nice walks to be had, especially at the Bolton Abbey end of the railway. Of course the railway itself is always going to be the main event, and it was well kept, run on time and the staff are very friendly. If you haven't been to this one yet I highly recommend it, while it might not be the longest railway, it is perfect length for keeping the attention of children.
Beatrice, built 1945 under an order for two locomotives for the Ministry of Supply. Works number 2705 Beatrice, and 2704 (fate unknown).
2705 was delivered to The Ackton Hall Colliery Co. at Featherstone near Pontefract, named after colliery manager’s daughter. Because coal industry nationalisation was expected the company kept the loco in ex-works condition, steaming it once per month in order to claim maximum compensation for new plant.
Beatrice was given a major overhaul at the Hunslet works in 1964, also fitted with the “gas producer” system including an underfeed stoker. The loco was returned to Ackton Hall with a new NCB South Yorkshire Area livery of dark red rather than the original green, and now numbered S119 in the NCB fleet.
Sold into preservation in 1976, Operating from 1982 the loco has been at the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway for longer than her previous industrial career. Overhauled again and back at work in 2012, Beatrice has the upgrades of a rocking grate, hopper ashpan and a Lempor exhaust system.

16mm Cine film made by my Dad Ken Ellwood in 1982 showing Embsay railway volunteers laying track to reconnect to the main line then owned by British Rail.
In August 2020 we visited the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Steam Railway an afternoon tea trip in their restored Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Directors' saloon.
This North Yorkshire heritage railway is surrounded by beautiful countryside and even the typical British wet weather couldn't spoil the experience.
The line runs along the old Midland Railway route which opened in the 1880s and was closed as part of the Beeching cuts in 1965. The line was reopened as a heritage line in the 1980s and the stations have been lovingly restored to their former glory.
Our train was pulled by a Hunslet 0-6-0st austerity locomotive and it took less than 30 minutes to travel the 4 miles from Embsay station to Bolton Abbey station where the line currently terminates, although there are plans to extend and the grow the railway.
The railway currently has a number of projects they are fundraising for so please consider taking a trip to visit them or making a donation at www.embsayboltonabbeyrailway.org.uk
Embsay Reservoir is located above the village of Embsay, near Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales in North Yorkshire, England. It is owned by Yorkshire Water, and is used to supply water to the north and west of Skipton, feeding 25,000 homes. It has a dam height of 24m (79ft).
The reservoir was built by Skipton Urban District Council to service the needs of a rapidly rising population in the area. Forty acres of Embsay Pasture were compulsorily purchased in 1905, and work started almost immediately, with the main contract being awarded to the specialist company, Messrs G H Hill and Son. Work was completed before the end of 1909, and the reservoir was full by January 10 of the following year. It was officially opened on June 21, 1910. No dwelling houses were submerged.
The reservoir is used for leisure activities such as sailing, fishing, and walking, and is the home of the Craven Sailing Club. There are car parking facilities for visitors.
