One of Yorkshire’s most interesting follies
The Druid’s Temple is located in the woods at Swinton Bivouac, near Leighton Reservoir with the surrounding moorland and Yorkshire Dales landscape.
Within the woodland there are a number of other standing stones, and the site is of particular appeal to walkers, families and bird watchers. The “temple” is just a short walk from Swinton Bivouac’s reception, and easy to find with a public footpath that leads from the road to the main site of the folly.
There are a number of walking trails within the woodland which Swinton Estate allows walkers to use on a permissive use basis, by kind permission of the Swinton Estate.
