About as photogenic as the concrete dam at Cow Green Reservoir ever gets. [In my opinion, this is about as ugly as a dam can be, especially given the wild beauty of the moorland setting] The pass valve is set to discharge a minimum flow rate, to maintain the downstream river environment.

Water wheel, used as the prime mover for a micro hydroelectricity generator. It was under test at the time of our visit to Eskdale Mill. . . eskdalemill.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/hydro-scheme-progress.html

The original buildings are a water mill (Eskdale Mill, dating from 1578), the leat has been altered to supply a new, exterior wheel. (Micro HEP), This is between the village of Boot and the site of the 3ft gauge railway station. Well worth a visit.
