A 19th-century dam located in the Sutton Bingham valley, Somerset, England, built to supply water to the nearby town of Yeovil, featuring a picturesque lake and surrounded by rolling hills and woodland, offering scenic walks and opportunities for fishing and birdwatching.
I've passed signs for Sutton Mill Dam a number of times without knowing a thing about it. With only a half an afternoon to spare I thought it would be a good time to explore. A 26 acres wildlife park, Sutton Mill is quite small and has a river running in at the east end and then out through a dozen step waterfall at the west end before going on to join the St Helens Canal. I hoped it would be a circular route but there is no path along the northern edge owing to the proximity of houses. There is access at both ends with on street parking, I used the Leach Lane end as New Street is adjacent to a school and it was home time! Not a long walk, more a casual stroll really but it is well worth a visit. Certainly bears further investigation and see if it can be tied up with another area nearby to make a substantial route.
My grandson enjoyed having a walk round there .. walk upto top and feed the ducks or go fishing
Nice pleasant place to feed the birds and take a nice walk away from the hustle n bustle of life. Shame some of the dog walker can't be bothered to pick up there dog sh1t especially when it on the path.
wow nice clean place lots of carp sunbathing at the waterfall end etc . Also seen one low double landed off the surface using bread inc a goast carp among the 7 or more on the surface very nice
Really nice woodland walk Great for dog walking. Plus if you like fishing
Can't wait to come back and explore more. We stumbled on it while picking up the cat from the vets. Looks beautiful
Good for kids
Dogs allowed
