Straining Tower
The Straining Tower at Lake Vyrnwy looks like part of a fairytale castle. In reality, its purpose is to filter or strain out material in the water with a fine metal mesh, before the water flows along the aqueduct to Liverpool.

Thanks Michael. It was built in a time when structures were built to please the eye as well as being functional.
