Lymm Dam, Dam and recreational area in Warrington, England
Lymm Dam is a lake with walking trails, woodland paths, and natural sandstone formations spread across the landscape. The area offers free parking and numerous paths that connect to the Trans Pennine Trail.
The dam was built in 1824 when the Warrington and Stockport Turnpike Trust constructed a new road and bridge across the valley. This structure was part of improvements that changed transport in the region.
The stone archway at the entrance comes from the Victorian era and still shows the mark of earlier owners. Visitors can walk in the traces of this past and clearly see this architectural influence.
Visitors will find free parking and well-maintained paths that cross the site. For longer walks or bike rides, you can reach the Trans Pennine Trail from here.
The site shows geological formations called Nye Channels and Scallops that were created by glacial meltwater erosion millions of years ago. These erosion patterns are visible to visitors and tell a long natural history.
