'''Sywell Country Park''' exists on the site of a former [[drinking water]] [[reservoir (water)|reservoir]] near the village of [[Sywell]] in East [[Northamptonshire]], [[England]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://latitude.to/articles-by-country/gb/united-kingdom/226826/sywell-country-park|title=GPS coordinates of Sywell Country Park, United Kingdom.

<br />
The reservoir was built at the turn of the 20th century to supply water to the [[Higham Ferrers]] and [[Rushden]] areas. It operated between 1906 and 1979 and is now a [[country park]] run by [[Northamptonshire County Council]]. It has an area of 280,000 square metres. The land for the reservoir was purchased from the Stockdale family estate at adjoining [[Mears Ashby]].<br />
<br />
The site includes a small [[tea room]].<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.northamptonshireparks.co.uk/sywell-country-park/Pages/things-to-do-at-sywell-country-park.aspx|title=Things to do at Sywell Country Park|access-date=2018-10-28|language=en-GB}}</ref> There is also a project which aims to use both oral and written records to interpret the route of the water supply throughout the site.<br />
