Roundhill reservoir is overlooked by a strange stone tower. This is Carlesmoor sighting tower used to triangulate the end points of a water tunnel from the reservoir to Harrogate. It is one of several Colsterdale towers.
Although not in Nidderdale, the reservoir is within the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
