This is brilliant peice of architecture thats still in use today, you can feel the sheer power of the flow of water down the dam one side, and the peace and tranquility of the lake the other.

Amazing dam - there are some plaque's at the end of it to note some of the key dates. Impressive structure. I visited out of season and it was really tranquil.

There is a little cafe above the main car park for a coffee and cake after the "gift shop" labelled walks. As usual, Komoot makes the walk easier than using signposts - remember to download to the phone app. Kayaking/canoeing around the lake is only possible for about half of it due to a protected bird sanctuary.
