The Craig Goch Dam

In the UK, and more precisely, in Wales, there is perhaps the most beautiful dam in the world - Craig Goch. This dam separates Kronfa Ddur Craig Gok and Penigarreg Reservoir. It was built, of course, to form a reservoir, one of the purposes of which is to provide Birmingham with water. Construction of the dam began in 1897, and was completed fairly quickly for such a large-scale project - in 1904. In 1997, a hydroelectric generator began to work on the dam.

The architecture of this object is amazing. Built of dark stone in the classic English style, the Craig Goch dam ceased to be just a structure almost immediately, and became a landmark. The white foam into which the water flow falls from the height of the structure contrasts with the color of the foundations of the dam and creates the impression of unreality of what is happening.
