Ladybower's Western Bellmouth Drain (Plughole) with Bamford Edge Above
Ladybower's dam wall is to the south of the reservoir and towards each end is a bellmouth drain, known colloquially as Plugholes. These are for overflow protection, so only come into use following heavy rainfall. Above the reservoir is Bamford Edge, which provides a spectacular viewpoint for those able to make the climb.
The village of Appleton in Oxfordshire, is home to the company 'White's of Appleton', a contractor for hanging church bells, and which is now the oldest bellhanging company still trading in the UK.
