Haweswater is another beauty - also in the Lake District 2007
Originally Haweswater was a natural lake about 4km long before it was turned into a resevoir in 1935. Another sad tale of all the farms and dwellings of Mardale Green and Measand villages being demolished as well as the centuries-old Dun Bull Inn at Mardale Green. The village church was dismantled and the stone used in constructing the dam. The area was then flooded. The building of the dam raised the water level by 29 metres (95 feet) and created a reservoir six kilometres (four miles) long and around 600 metres (almost half a mile) wide. When the water level is low the remains can still be seen.
