Tips

Foundation for Common Land

September 11, 2024

As a result of the creation of the dam, villages such as Measand and Mardale Green that sat at the bottom of the valley were flooded. The farms, houses and even the Inn were demolished and the stone from the dismantled church was used in the construction of the dam. The 14th century church of Mardale village was one of a few contenders claiming to be the smallest in England.

At times of very low water levels, you can see the remains of the submerged village including stone walls and a bridge.
