This was very exciting, though sad that the water levels in the reservoir is so low. We most all be aware of our use of water nowadays. It was really interesting to see what you found below "normal" water levels. I cannot imagine how it would be to get my home flooded with water and move, and all I was used to see around me was submerged. I had to search for the book about little Ambella, but it seems to be out of stock everywhere. Thank you for taking us to places like this, and for enlightening me about the Cornish hedges 😍 This was very enjoyable. Torunn ☺
The summer drought of 1976 was so bad a Minister for Drought was appointed, the rain then became torrential, he was the most successful Government Minister in British history.
He was minister for rain so papers said and week later it rained cats and dogs he then became minister of floods and in winter minister for Snow he was without doubt a successful minister he was Labour and off the old school he went to drought areas to shake hands and reassure people he took a lot of abuse and moans but took all with a smile and a joke which is a lesson for our current crop of politicians and their sound bites. Dennis Howell MP RIP for a job done to the best of your abilities with a smile..
Absolutely fascinating , to find some of the small items which had every day usage and had their own history back to who knows when, it really makes you think about how much more we should protect our planet . I think a return visit here in the winter say on new years day to see what if any change may have occurred or even in a years time . Another cracking video guys Brian&Jane. :)
So sad to learn about Little Ambella. Similar things happened when valleys were flooded to provide a water supply from Wales to The Midlands. Can't imagine how being told to move must have affected the families living there. The dropping reservoir levels have revealed the past, as it has in your video. Great video as always. Keeping me sane in shielding! Stay safe.
Fascinating video! I live in Camborne, so Stithians supplies the water for the area I live in. Although people need to be aware of how much water they are using these days, it would be unfair to put all the blame on usage by the public, when no new reservoirs have been built in the south of England since 1973, and the water companies 'lose' a quarter of the water in inadequate pipe systems before it reaches homes, despite still making large pay-outs to shareholders. Something's not right there!
What a fascinating video, living locally it really made me think how precious our water is. To walk in the ‘past’ and explore a bygone valley with wonderful imagination was a joy to share. Your ‘story telling’ Sarah is quite enthralling- a good entertaining & well made video.
Hi Sarah and Andrew. Really enjoyed your trip to the reservoir today. Seeing it so low and learning about the history. As for water conservation I think it is a mixture of the waterboard and us to conserve water during a drought. It has not been this dry since 1976 where we had a summer heatwave. Where the water board band hose pipes and two people was advise to share baths.
There is a little book about the hamlet which was here before the dam. I think it was called Little Amberley and it has some really interesting stories about the person who lived there .
Hi Sarah and Andrew…your amazing videos…thank you for exploring and sharing your info on this place. Wow. My life has taken a million turns in just a matter of days, i haven’t had a moment to watch your videos but as I finally feel a quiet time has arrived and I feel a calm from my blistering storms it has been so sublime to finally have a moment to watch your fun videos of Cornwall. They always put a Big smile on my face! Here’s hoping for better days for all …. All the best Ana 🌹
Ahhh! That's probably been answered in our video! The water was quite murky, so not sure what you would see other than the aerators! Be interesting to see none the less! Sarah :)
Very enjoyable, I’ve, Just been up there this afternoon but quite windy however it is fascinating seeing those structures and the lower water level, I’m guessing the Neolithic stones are further round
The neolithic stones are at the Penarth end, Carmenellis to Rame road and quite tricky to spot. If you follow the path near the high water line, they are each side, about 200-300 yards from the layby, before the hedges. Took us a while to find them. Some say they are easier to spot with an evening sun! Sarah :)
Fascinating to see what was on the bed of the reservoir...those neolithic rocks...wow... amazing 👌. Loved the book about little Ambella too... always hard to believe people had to give up their houses for these reservoirs 🙏. Another great video Guys 👍💝😘
Coming from Melbourne, Australia I am stunned to see an English reservoir so dry! We have seen it here but It seems even more shocking to see it in England. I have Cornish ancestors from St Agnes, St Austell and Redruth who were miners and I love watching all your videos. Thank you Sarah and Andrew
Back in 1976 I was pregnant in that long hot summer. It didn't rain from April to September. Phew! This is such an eerie setting with remnants of the past being exposed to the elements now. I go mudlarking sometimes and find all sorts of artefacts from the past. Some of which are truly beautiful from the Victorian age and beyond. It's a bit like your sea glass collecting Sarah, but with a twist! How odd you would have that little book, which was so poignant....who knows, maybe the belt you found belonged to his dad. All around there are hidden bits of the past whether they be under water now or high above on old ghost signs on buildings. Even tucked away in undergrowth in some places. Rosherville Gardens in Kent is one such place...Such an interesting video both of you x J x
Interesting walk today. I didn't know the UK was have drought issues like we are in the states. All of our dams in the western part of America are very low on water. We all have to conserve what we can in order to have water in the coming years. Thanks for the interesting walk in your part of our world.
A fascinating video! but also a worry at the amount of water loss, it looks quite devastating and unearthly there are some amazing theories on the Neolithic stones, very curious 🤨 it gets the little grey cells working overtime! that was an incredible little Rock stack Andrew well done 👏 there are lots of interesting finds from the lost valley of Little Ambella, and the story of the poor roast Adder is mind boggling….. Who knows what Severn Trent has in store for us! as I have said a fascinating video I must watch it again as I had my eyes closed when Andrew went out along those rocks to the narrowest point 🫣 thanks again for coming up with another incredible find Sarah & Andrew 🤗 I have a little story about an underwater village I will share with you sometime! 🤔
Hi there, thank you for your interesting comment! i had mixed feelings about the adder, but I think they were living in different times back then! Sarah :)
@@CornishWalkingTrails I’m sure they were Sarah, your video reminded me of a dare devil nephew of mine, I’ve tried to shorten the event, he would be about ten year old when he decided to dive in the North Sea 🌊 to find the lost village of Mablethorpe, it had flooded some centuries earlier in a dreadful storm, and on very stormy nights you could still hear the old church bell ringing, this intrigued my nephew, complete with wet suit, goggles, snorkel and flippers he decided to my mothers horror to go investigate, what seemed like hours he emerged with a disgusted look on his face and said that was a waste of Bl…..time the visibility is nil down there! my Nephew is now a sixty year old dare devil with three dare devils of his own! 😂
Another interesting video guys thank you. Up in north Lancashire we are having large towns/ estates being built on our green fields added onto out towns. Urban spread which we have no control over. These builders don’t seem to think about the problem they are causing on the environment and the utilities which are now really struggling to cope with this mass of building. A sad situation that appears unstoppable.
Isn't it scaring ? The ground is looking as dry as in the desert with all the lines. All those secrets, normally covered with water......here in Germany they found 2 dead bodies in rivers because of the low water - of people who are missed for years !!! Very interesting video, again.
Here in the southwest U.S. we are used to water scarcity. The state of your reservoir brought home the worldwide impact of climate change. Flooded towns are emerging all over, some with church steeples and intact homes. Drastically low water levels in Lake Mead, near Las Vegas, have revealed no fewer than four human bodies, one encased in an oil drum, like something out of a "Goodfellas" movie. Is there groundwater generally in Cornwall? Do people have wells? The neolithic stones are so interesting. Similar stones here were used like mortars for grinding maiz (early version of American 'corn'), acorns, and nuts. Loved your readings from the memoir of the man who grew up in that valley. The snake story! :0
Oooo - bit discomforting about the bodies being revealed! We used to have wells and village pumps but these have mostly been decommissioned when mains water pipes were laid. The snake story was amazing! Sarah :)
Well, the water level is now down to 13.7% capacity, so much lower than in your video. Can you please do another video showing the difference now the water level is soo much lower. Although I live close by I have mobility issues and so am unable to see it for myself
For years water companies have blamed the public for their lack of expanding water collection saying people don't like seeing valleys flooded! Who doesn't like seeing a lake?
It is amazing that a lot of areas in the UK are still lot unmetered for their water usage and are not paying for what they actually use. We should all be paying for the amounts we actually use, like fuel, gas, electric, food, etc, etc. Like anything provided for free, it's use cannot be regulated.
Southern water is one of the worst for infrastructure maintenance. It’s a balance if the infrastructure was kept upto date and maintained probably no problems would be had
I think people would be more likely to try and cut back on their water usage providing the companies do more to improve the service they provide. i.e. fix water leaks a lot quicker than they do. Invest in the future of water storage rather than paying huge salaries and bonusses. A bonus is something you get if you have performed over and above normal. Reduce the amount paid in dividends to share holders. You can't ask others to make sacrifices if you do not or be seen not to be making them yourself!
I hope folks in the UK have a rainy fall/winter. We are looking at warm and dry again this year. We've had issues with both electricity and water utilities here in CA. The state orders cutbacks, so people use less. But then the Utility Company makes less money, so they jack up the rates. People are left paying more for less. It's one of the reasons you see roof-top solar panels everywhere here...now they want to charge solar owners for not using electricity. :S
@@SpanishEclectic The woes of capitalism! We have shied away from solar panels due to the cost of installation and relatively low return in terms of energy generation/saving. Maybe they need to start thinking about making fuel from CO2! Sarah :)
where i live a few years ago there was a burst pipe it was like a qiant geyser, i phoned the water board they weren't interested, there words were we do the road leaks first, the lady who's house, garden it was had the water gushing into her house as her garden was in a hill, all the damage, but nobody seemed to care and i remember walking to different places and seeing water running down the roads, i guess from burst pipes, but the water board didn't seem to put itself out to fix them. i was under the understanding bath and shower or toilet water all gets cleaned and sent back to the reservoir to be reused. that is what i was told as a child by my father, so where is the water going it's being syphoned somewhere or maybe the reservoir is being taken out , seems arround the globe this is happening, they have stopped water from flowing into natural brooks streams and wells and have made these horrid hydro places, they are killing nature. In tasmania one of the 7 wonders of the world, they have distroyed it by a reservoir, now the Launceston gorge is but a trickle, so sad, love you both
The reason why we have a water shortage in this part of the country is, of course, partly due to the current lack of rain and our increasing amount of water consumption. However, a large part of this problem, which wasn't really mentioned here, is the huge amount of leakage from South West Water's pipes and mains. Much of their pipes are archaic and are badly in need replacement as we have see on BBC Spotlight, etc. Imagine if Wales and West Utilities's gas mains were as leaky... the fire brigade would never rest! But it would seem that, since privatisation, a lot of South West Water's income which should be used on maintenance of the infrastructure is apparently now being given to private shareholders in the form of dividends, etc. Oh well, roll on the next extended period of rain. Take care and stay safe.
@@CornishWalkingTrails very true, Sarah, lol. All part of being British, I guess. It was a great vlog, though. Very interesting and Andrew was as hilarious as always. :-D
A sad reminder of how peoples lives were uprooted and livelihoods lost, not just at Stitians ,but all over the country when these reservoirs were created.
The questions are: 1) How much is wasted through leaking pipes? 2) How much do people waste industrial and domestic? 3) What is the effect of the increasing population? Interesting video nevertheless.

It was very interesting to walk around. Apparently, it has dropped further. Hardly surprising I guess, with this being high season! Sarah :)
That was so fascinating I didn't want it to end. I liked the part where you could make out that it was a lane.
It was so obvious! And you could see the equivalent on the other side of the reservoir, which made is so real! Sarah :)

It is a fantastic landscape near here, and views from Carmenellis and Four Lanes are amazing! Sarah :)

Amazing to see the 17th century village of West End reappear again ..
Hello Michael! we looked a few maps, trying to figure out a name so thank you! Sarah :)
Amazimg to see the reservoir as dry as that. We could do with some your heat in Scotland. Take care.

As a former local I wonder if nearby Argal Reservoir is in the same predicament?
No doubt! Sarah :)

Can you please do another video showing the difference now the water level is soo much lower.
Although I live close by I have mobility issues and so am unable to see it for myself

For anyone interested Ive just noticed the Cup Stones location is marked on Google Earth

Who doesn't like seeing a lake?
You have heard of wood worm. Those circular Mark's are stone worms. 🤠
LOL! Sarah :)
About time SW water invested in desalination plants instead of relying on rain....
I met an old boy on that bridge who said he used to cross it on his walk to school
What a worry..you need an old map of the area to see what was there before … this brings home the need for a hosepipe ban .
We poured over a current ordnance and an old map to try and figure it out but decided it was not clear enough! Sarah :)

right now is full af
