Rothwell Fold (ruin)
Although not much remains the ruins of Rothwell Fold add a bit of interest as most people walk by on their way from the car park to the reservoir. The layout of the building can be seen along with a bit of stone furniture in the walls.
Dating from around the 18th Century, Rothwell Fold went derelict sometime after the 1950s.
