Chapelhouse Reservoir is a water reservoir near Uldale in Cumbria, England.
History
The reservoir, which is around 435 metres (1,427 ft) long, was built by John Laing & Son in around 1900. It involved damming the River Ellen above Uldale to provide water for Aspatria and Silloth. It is named after Chapelhouse Farm which is close by and it is owned by United Utilities.
