ティンバーズクームの湖・トップ4

Amazing view

There is a great trail all around the lake, but the eastern shore is so much quieter and the trails are rougher and more fun to run. The eastern shore is also quite inaccessible, other than while looping the whole lake which makes it feel like an adventure!

Coffee Couture café is well situated near the car park at Wimbleball Lake. They have plenty of space inside and tables outside, so you can enjoy the sunshine or warm up after a chilly run, depending on the weather.

Moderate trail for everyone to explore and enjoy

Nutscale Reservoir is a reservoir located in Exmoor in the northwest Somerset, England. It supplies the town of Minehead and nearby Porlock and Porlock Weir. The reservoir is part of the River Horner catchment area and is dammed.

If you pay attention, from this point on the path, you'll have good views of Nutscale Reservoir surrounded by beautiful countryside and hills. This reservoir, with water from the River Horner, used to supply Minehead, Porlock, and Porlock Weir, but now it serves just a few properties. It was constructed in 1942.

This dam was constructed in two phases, beginning in 1974 and completed in 1978. Due to a dry winter and the need for water during the summers of the two following years, the lake did not overflow until 1980.

This section goes over the Wimbleball Dam, constructed between 1974 and 1979. As you walk across this impressive structure, standing over 40 meters tall, you'll have the opportunity to observe all its details as well as the surrounding landscape.
