Autumn walk

[ellarien]

Yesterday was so wet that we didn't fancy going into the woods today, but we walked along the road to see the Beauchief Dam -- the reservoir for the Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, where they made knives and tools with water power in the old days.

The info centre is not that far off Abbey Lane (t'other side of Abbeydale Road) off to your left as you go up towards Whirlow and Ringinglow. I believe that you can drive into it from the top end of Abbey Lane, though we had parked on the roadside.

Anyhow, some photos here.
