Lymm Dam, Dam and recreational area in Warrington, England
Lymm Dam features a lake surrounded by walking trails, woodland paths, and natural sandstone formations that stretch across the landscape.
The dam was created in 1824 when the Warrington and Stockport Turnpike Trust constructed a new road and bridge over the valley.
The stone archway entrance and remains of historical structures reflect the Victorian era influence of former owners Thomas Ridgeway and George Dewhurst.
The area provides free parking facilities and maintains numerous paths connecting to the Trans Pennine Trail for extended walking or cycling routes.
The site contains geological formations called Nye Channels and Scallops, formed by glacial meltwater erosion approximately 250 million years ago.
