A short climb up from the road brings you to the Dam and carpark, there is no access over the Dam itself. But you do get a good view over the spillway and valley below.

Fab but the roads over the top are NOT ROADS they are farm tracks. We had to carry our bikes over styles and push them through over animal tracks Would have broken a wheel otherwise However a fab experience none the less TIP: always check the pub is actually open and what time they close
