Burrator Reservoir, near Yelverton on the south-west side of Dartmoor, is surrounded by attractive wooded countryside. On the west side of the reservoir this waterfall is fed by the Devonport Leat, an artificial watercourse that was constructed in the 1790s to provide a water supply to Devonport. Most of the water from the leat now flows into Burrator Reservoir which supplies water to Plymouth.
