Litton Reservoirs (also known as Coley Reservoirs) () are two reservoirs near the village of Litton, Somerset, England. They are operated by Bristol Water. They lie on the boundary between Bath and North East Somerset and Mendip districts. The individual lakes are called Lower Litton and Upper Litton. The former is in size, the latter and much deeper. They were built around 1850 by the Bristol Waterworks Company in conjunction with the "Line of Works" to bring water from the Mendip Hills to Bristol. A public footpath goes around the lakes and across the dam. The banks are home to a variety of flowers including; Primroses (''Primula vulgaris''), Common Bluebell (''Hyacinthoides non-scripta'', sometimes ''Endymion non-scriptus'' or ''Scilla non-scripta''), Wood anemone (''Anemone nemorosa''), Violets and Campion.〔 Several species of birds are frequent visitors including; Moorhen (''Gallinula''), Coot (''Fulica''), Mallard (''Anas platyrhynchos''), Swan and Tufted duck (''Aythya fuligula''). Fishing (under permit) is generally for rainbow (''Oncorhynchus mykiss'') and brown trout (''Salmo trutta''). Fish breeding takes place in the netted area immediately below the upper dam is the site for fish breeding. == Photographs == File:Litton Resovoir dam.JPG|Upper dam File:Litton Resovoir lower pond 2.JPG|Lower reservoir showing fish protection nets File:Litton Resovoir Upper pond.JPG|Upper reservoir taken from the dam File:Litton resovoir boat house.JPG|Boat house on the lower Litton Reservoir 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Litton Reservoirs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
