This is the home page of the Gaddings Dam Group, who formed a not-for-profit company, the Gaddings Dam Preservation Company Limited, to buy and maintain a disused 19th Century reservoir on Langfield Common, above Todmorden, West Yorkshire, as an environmental and historical resource.

We have installed a siphon in Gaddings to counter the high water levels experienced over the summer of 2008. The water level has dropped considerably already, and it is now possible to access the highest beach in England for the first time this year.  Read our News page to find out the latest reports on the water level and other updates about the Dam and the Gaddings Dam Group.
