Thirlmere - Manchester's Water.
Thirlmere reservoir in The Lake District was created in the late 1800's to supply the water needs of the growing city of Manchester. Join me for a look around the lake, at the dam and for a little history about this beautiful lake. Also watch out for a quick fly past from the RAF !!

Good post. I was here yesterday it is a stunning place and never overcrowded like a lot of The Lake District.

Thank you. It is very peaceful considering it’s on the main road between Keswick & Ambleside. 😀👍🏻

@@ThatllDoVlog yes a good stop off place between the 2 places you mentioned. Driving north up Dunmail raise and first catching a glimpse of Thirlmere on a sunny day is one of the most beautiful sights you will see in the whole of the Lake District
Nice video about one of my favourite places in the UK

Missed a notification for this one. So sorry for being late to the party. Lucky indeed that you had stopped flying before the fly past. I can see the headlines now😟 Can you imagine how boring the buildings would be today if a new reservoir was built. The ones from the past look so decorative. Reservoirs in the Peaks are low as well. Worrying what the future may hold. Thanks Paul, have a great weekend

Thank you. Speaking of boring dams I’m hoping to get out to Haweswater early next week, which although it has a very boring yet functional dam does have a submerged village that has started to appear! Hopefully the weather stays decent! 😀

As far as I am aware, before the dam was constructed Thirlmere already existed as a small natural lake, maybe half the size it is today? I think there was also a hall and small village?

Thank you for watching. You are absolutely correct. I have posted a photo of the pre reservoir lake and a modern comparison on my Facebook page. 👍🏻
You never mentioned, that there was a village there before the reservoir.

You are right. There was a small settlement, Wythburn,towards the southern end of the lake. The most famous submerged village being Mardale in Haweswater. One for another video. Thanks for watching. 😀👍🏻

@@ThatllDoVlog I only knew, as my ancestors actually lived there. My Sister lives near Thirlmere, most of my family live in Keswick, so haven't moved far. I live in Lancashire. I always enjoy your videos, so thank you.
With global warming, this lake isn't going to be able to sustain both Manchester & Cumbria 😢

Doesn’t look promising. I foresee many hosepipe bans in the future. ☹️
