Gaddings Dam

Gaddings Dam is a locally owned reservoir near to Todmorden in West Yorkshire, England. The dam was built to power water mills in the Todmorden area, being superseded by steam power and left redundant. It is notable for having a sandy beach at the north-eastern side which attracts people to it during the summer months, although it is known for its all-year round wild swimming opportunities. The presence of the sandy shore means the site is often labelled as the "highest beach in Britain", though there are other inland locations with beaches at a higher altitude.
