The Blue Lagoon
The Blue Lagoon as it is known locally, was Ward's reservoir and supplied water for the industrial mills below Belmont .
The Blue Lagoon was drained in 2010 due to fears for it's safety with regard to dangerous flood water levels in the future. It is a sad loss, but if the Blue Lagoon is gone forever, we may gain a new interesting area.

"The Blue Lagoon can hold 150,000 cubic metres of water and has a surface area of 28,000 square metres when full.
A large part of the reservoir is only a few feet deep, but it sinks to a depth of about 80ft at its lowest point.
Mr Smith [Belmont Holdings] has said that he would be prepared to hand the reservoir over to a trust."
