Milldewan Hill

Last gate before the bend For several kilometres, the western shore of Backwater Reservoir is pretty much straight. Here the reservoir makes a turn to the east. A sheep field sits on the peninsula. The path meanders through the field and then disappears into the woods. This is the last gate before the turn.
