Tumbling Weir, Circular weir in Ottery St. Mary, England
The Tumbling Weir features a circular design where water enters through an opening at the top and flows down through concentric rings.
The weir was constructed to manage water flow from a leat into the River Otter, supporting local agricultural and industrial activities through the centuries.
A converted 17th-century thatched house near the weir now operates as the Tumbling Weir Hotel, preserving local architectural traditions.
Visitors can access the weir by following designated footpaths from the center of Ottery St. Mary, with coordinates at 50.7505°N, 3.28474°W.
The water creates a spiral pattern as it descends through multiple levels before entering a tunnel that channels it beneath a path to the river.
