Water Tower In Amble, Northumberland
A spacecraft-like old concrete water tower, standing in the fields near Amble.
The Morwick Water Tower is located in a field in Northumberland just around the corner from Amble and Warkworth.
Its saucer shape is pretty unusual and makes it a unique landmark in the north east.
There isn't a lot of information out there about the water tower other than it was built in 1963 and was probably fed by the nearby reservoir a few fields over.
We did find out that it holds just over half a million litres!
Of course we sent up Red5 for a look around.

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue Pele tower up a remote hill or a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
