The work so far Restoring the reservoirs and bringing them back into operational use so they can be enjoyed for decades to come has been a once in a lifetime opportunity. This has included: vegetation clearance within both reservoirs repairing the stone pitching on the inside of the dam wall at Llanishen reservoir repairing and replacing valves and pipes needed to operate the reservoirs safely reinstating the perimeter fence draining Llanishen reservoir to fully inspect it before allowing it to safely refill introducing a new mowing regime for the reservoir embankments, which has enhanced the grassland for the waxcap fungi.
The Visitor Hub Our vision is to create a community hub for the local area and visitors to enjoy. The two-storey building will feature: Changing rooms, showers and toilets to enable water-sports use Meeting and training rooms Cafe with panoramic views across the reservoirs So you can enjoy the spectacular views and nature around us — we will also create: Circular paths around the reservoirs Bird hides and a viewpoint Conservation areas Site wide signage and interpretation and a nature trail.
