This vast reservoir was built in the early 1960s and is managed by Wessex Water. It lies on the very edge of the Quantock Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has become home to wildfowl and amphibians since its construction. Popular with anglers hoping to catch rainbow trout, the reservoir is a lovely place to sit and have a picnic or simply admire its picturesque nature.
