Rudyard Reservoir, Staffordshire

Rudyard Lake at Rea Cliffe Wood

Uploader's Comments

The valley was dammed to create a canal feeder reservoir. The lake was then developed as a tourist attraction by a railway company. Mr & Mrs Kipling honeymooned here, and liked it so much they named their son Rudyard.
