기들리‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪4‬개의 호수

토르까지 가파른 오르막이지만, 경치가 그럴 만한 가치가 있습니다.

No swimming permitted either!

Set in a wooded valley in the heart of Dartmoor, Fernworthy supplies fresh drinking water to the towns and cities around the moor. The sloping, open grassland to the south of the water is a fantastic viewpoint and a great place from which to spot wildlife.

Meldon Reservoir was constructed in the 1970s to supply water to the surrounding area. The car park by the dam offers good access to the high tors of north Dartmoor. Run across the dam and up onto the moor or along the enjoyable lakeside trail.

It is on private land

Today the old Meldon Quarry plays host to many visitors, some come to walk or cycle, others to swim, a few come for some extreme sports such a bungee jumping whilst others visit the remains of the redundant railway. For whatever reason what they see today is normally a peaceful landscape, albeit an industrial one, however not that long ago it would have been a hive of activity. It’s believed that the first quarrying began around the late 1700s when the local limestone was extracted. Over the years this gradually gave over to aggregate quarrying and apelite quarrying until its final closure. The original owners of the quarry was the London and South Western Railway and then came Britsh Rail and finally EEC Aggregates.

Beautiful walks but DO NOT LEAVE ANY VALUABLES IN THE CAR! It's a notorious break-in spot!

Meldon Reservoir is a breathtaking man-made lake at 900 feet (274 m) above sea level in Dartmoor National Park. Sit and watch as the surrounding moorland changes colour with the sun, chat to the fishermen sitting peacefully on its banks or watch as birds circle above the calm waters. Formed by damming the West Okement River, the reservoir is 0.75 miles (1.2 km) long and 984 feet (300 m) wide.
