This dam powers the historic Shepherd Wheel, one of Sheffield’s best-preserved water-powered grinding workshops. Located in the Porter Valley, the dam itself is a picturesque water body bordered by lush woodland. It supports fish, ducks, and aquatic plants, and provides a calm reflection of the mill’s stone walls—an essential stop for heritage tourists.
