Power of Water Exhibition

Look for the

water jets!

See the 1952 Flood level and tour the lower gorge passing the hydroelectric turbines

See how some of the once desructive waters of the West Lyn River

are now harnessed to provide hydro electricity for the village.

Children of all ages can make electricity, spin the water wheels and fire water canons too!

Many of the attractions are either indoors or under cover,

while the woodlands give good shelter. Fun in any weather!

A gentle walk leads to Moses’s Pool

deep within the wooded gorge,

where you can peacefully sit beside the river.

You can extend your visit

by taking

the steep path

to the

upper gorge.

Lovely waterfalls lead to an impressive ravine, where the

intake works fill

the underground pipe, which drops to the hydro-electric turbine houses

75 metres below.
