Lopwell Dam, Devon UK - Man-made Waterfalls on Waymarking.com

This dam was created for drinking water supply; there is a pumping station beside the dam. The river below the water fall is tidal. As you can see from the photos there is a walk way cross the river, this walk way is covered with water for about 2 hours when the tide is high. The height of the waterfall depends on how much water is coming down the Tavy. The Tavy is a very fast rising river as its catchment area is a large part of Dartmoor. I should think the normal drop of the waterfall is 5ft.
