Please be advised that, due to the extended period of dry weather, water levels are very low on the Summit Pound and in the reservoir that supply the area. Unfortunately, we will be closing the summit from 11am today (Thursday 30th July) to help water levels recover. We will reopen at 10am tomorrow (Friday 31st July). We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
