Feanworthy Reservoir

2014-06-23 · Free entry

Very peaceful walking/picnic area run by Dartmoor National Park. Pay and display parking. Marked walks and plenty of birds on the reservoir. A few long-established Dartmoor farms had to be abandoned and disappeared under the water as a result of dam building during the 1950s in Dartmoor and during years of drought some ruins can once again become visible. At Fernworthy low water often reveals the remains of Fernworthy Farm and a small granite Clapper bridge which once crossed the South Teign River.
