William Lever built a folly which is a scale replica of Liverpool Castle. Building started in 1912 and the replica, which was not completed, was based on a conjectural reconstruction of the castle prepared by E. W. Cox in 1892.

Great little place to stop off and take in the views over the reservoir. Interesting history of a failed project, great for kids, but obviously be careful around the ruins and the water's edge.
