Description
Lake Vyrnwy was created to capture water from the River Vyrnwy so it could be used to supply the ever expanding city of Liverpool with fresh clean drinking water.
The reservoir is 216 ft deep at its maximum depth. The pointed tower in the distance is the straining tower and is where the water leaves the lake on the start of its seventy mile journey down the aqueduct.

I was afraid it was something more utilitarian. But it's still beautiful and lends a bit of fairy tale feeling to the landscape! If only all straining towers were so lovely... : )

Is that a castle, or an elaborate folly, or something entirely different on the shore? Beautiful shot Ian! I love the depth! l/f!
Ian Mitchell replied:
Thanks Meg. I believe it was a straining tower, which filtered the water. Fantastic structure visually too I think.
