Upper Roddlesworth Reservoir Outflow Waterfall
A really fancy artificial cascade built as the outflow for the upper reservoir at Roddlesworth and now fallen into disrepair that only increases the look.
An Victorian looking iron footbridge crosses the cascade part-way down allowing for good views without negotiating the descent all the way to the bottom.
The outflow here is an overflow system for the reservoir so the cascade will be completely dry if the reservoir water levels are low.
