Abbeystead is a small, picturesque village located in the Forest of Bowland Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

It lies close to the Trough of Bowland but even in medieval times, was considered part of Wyresdale rather than within the domain of that powerful local magnate, the Lord of Bowland, so-called Lord of the Fells.

The Abbeystead reservoir in view from this cache, was built in 1855 by Lancaster Corporation to supply mills lower down the River Wyre in the dry season. Although the reservoir is no longer in service it still features an attractive curved overflow.

Congratulations to 'campdave' for getting their first FTFs!
