Description
Gadding's Dam is Britain's highest beach, and an old reservoir. Water depth ranges between 2 and 12m. A small amount of parking at the bottom of the hill then a 20 minute walk up to it . Incredible views and a pub at the bottom for afterwards. Beach access but uneven stones underfoot. It can be really busy when hot. Note that the water temperature can drop quickly due to the depth of water and height of location.

Secluded and great place for a swim. Short walk up steady incline reveals a large abandoned reservoir. Very clean water rocky underpath into the water and mixed depths around the edges. Awesome 360 views once at the top.

The dam is up a hill and is 1.5km up. The views are amazing, the water clear and beautiful
