Woodside cottage is a short walk from one of the secret lakes of the Lake District! High Dam is an artificial tarn about 1.5km away from Stott Park Bobbin Mill (which is opposite Woodside), which was constructed to provide water to power the mill. Apparently, no-one knows exactly who built the tarn, which was in place by 1848, and is now a local beauty spot. This short video will give you a glimpse of the peace and tranquillity that the lake provides to all who visit this truly magical place For accommodation near High Dam please check out our web site. http://www.lakesgetaways.co.uk
