Upper and Lower Foulridge Reservoirs are opposites sides of the A56, Skipton Road as it approaches Foulridge. The two reservoirs are owned by British Waterways and were built in the 1800s to supply water to the Leeds Liverpool Canal, as were the nearby Slipper Hill and Whitemoor Reservoirs. This is part of the overflow channel from the upper reservoir as it feeds into the lower.
