What visitors say
Short walk along the road past the water fall is the Burrator reservoir information centre, has lots of information about why the dam was placed here to the construction of the dam & when it was raised up by 10 foot. The guy gave us a cometary on its history & was very informative & interesting. Worth a visit.

Extremely helpful staff. The ranger kindly offered us shelter during a rain shower, gave us tips, and simply made our stay enjoyable. Thank you very much for your hospitality & warm regards from the Swiss family ;-)...
