Largest man made lake in Europe
Built to meet the needs of the North-East's steel industry, the steel industry no longer existed by the time it was finished.

The area has been well-developed for water sports and tourism with various visitor centres. The surrounding forest of depressing conifer plantations is being partially replaced with broad-leaved woodland as the current battery-farmed trees are felled.
