About
A short, sheltered walk through Finsthwaite Plantation leads to High Dam, a small reservoir cupped by trees and bracken. The water is still and clear, and the circuit is ideal for children or a slow afternoon with a book.
Roger Recommends
"Go early on hot days — the small car park fills quickly with swimmers."
