Chelker Reservoir, North Yorkshire

Chelker Reservoir dam

Uploader's Comments

The dam at the east end of Chelker Reservoir. This is an unusual sheet of water due to its hilltop location and with no streams around it. Water reaches here from upper Nidderdale via the lengthy aqueduct system originally built for Bradford corporation in the 19th century.
