It's an expansive area which includes Caesar's Camp, an ancient fort pre-dating Ceasar back to the Iron Age. I used to do lots of cycling round here and cooled off in this very reservoir around 20 years ago. I'm sure that sign wasn't there then![ATTACH=full]74289[/ATTACH]The space is vast[ATTACH=full]74290[/ATTACH]You can get an idea of the depth of the reservoir by the ladder rungs on this tower. The water level came to just below the top section of the tower. I remember jumping from the top into the water below.[ATTACH=full]74291[/ATTACH]Part of the water catchment works surrounding the reservoir.[ATTACH=full]74292[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]74293[/ATTACH]Here, courtesy of Google Maps you can see an aerial view.[ATTACH=full]74294[/ATTACH]And interestingly on Flash Earth the reservoir is full! I don't know when it was drained but judging by the amount of plant life there I'd guess at least a couple of years? <a href="http://www.flashearth.com/?lat=51.242148&lon=-0.816432&z=17.8&r=0&src=msa" target="_blank">Flash Earth Link</a>[ATTACH=full]74295[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
