Humbie Reservoir
Humbie Reservoir
It's named on the maps as Humbie Reservoir, though it also seems to be known as Carmelhill Reservoir; not to be confused with Carmelhill Reservoir, which is a covered reservoir at the top of the hill surrounded by a security fence. This sheet of water was created by the construction of a dam across the valley at the east end. As you cross the bridge to the south shore you can hear, but not see (or photograph) the outflow falling down a weir enclosed in a grid of steel bars.
