Blessington Lakes - Part 2 | Valleymount Bridge | Co. Wicklow | Ireland

Poulaphouca Reservoir, officially Pollaphuca, is an active reservoir (for both water supply and electricity generation) and area of wild bird conservation in west County Wicklow, Ireland. It is also known locally as Blessington Lake. It is the largest artificial reservoir in Ireland by capacity and surface area. It was created between 1937 and 1947, with flooding beginning at 10 am on 3 March 1940 by damming the River Liffey at Poulaphouca as part of the Electricity Supply Board project to build a second hydroelectric station in Ireland, Ardnacrusha on the River Shannon being the first.
