Geocache Description:

This is a small cache at the Alwen Dam. There are picnic benches overlooking the dam and a recently opened footpath/cycle path, The Alwen Trail around the reservoir.

The Alwen Reservoir is 5km long reservoir held back by the 27 metre high Alwen Dam. The dam is a gravity-arch masonry dam and was built between 1909 and 1921 to supply water to the town of Birkenhead, near Liverpool. Today the reservoir supplies water to homes across north-east Wales producing about 5 million gallons of water a day and it is part of the River Dee regulation system. A large water treatment facility was built below the dam, and a cast iron underground aqueduct laid to Birkenhead. The original water treatment buildings are still standing, but the equipment inside has long gone, replaced by modern plant in a new building. It is operated by Welsh Water.
