Abbeystead Weir

The outflow at the western end of Abbeystead Reservoir is spectacular and well-worth a look, despite being an artificial waterfall it is a feat of engineering and looks great.

A large, curved basin like structure allows water to flow from the reservoir down an stone-lined channel to a high weir and into the river Wyre below.

There is a small picnic area adjacent but there has been some disruption to the site in recent years as some major construction work has been in-progress including the addition of a long fish-pass.
