Tover Tarn

Map and Gallery:

 Tover Tarn and the dam which is found at the southern end of the tarn.
The OS map describes this water as "Reservoir (disused)", which is a little misleading as this is actually a natural tarn, enlarged by the dam to provide water power to the nearby bobbin mill at Sunny Bank. Thankfully, when the mill ceased to operate in the early 20th century, the dam, which blends perfectly with the surroundings, was left in place and the tarn remained at it's current size.

 The view down Tover Tarn from the stone dam and as I said "it blends in perfectly with the surroundings". Undoubtedly this is a lovely spot, even if it is tarnished somewhat by the power lines
