The reservoir was built in the 1950s to supply water to Yeovil.[1][2][3] The remains of Sutton Mill are under the water, and close to the shore is the 12th-century Church of All Saints.[4]
It now provides an environment for overwintering wildfowl and migrant birds including the osprey. It is also used for fishing,[1] and sailing by Sutton Bingham Sailing Club[5] and the Sutton Bingham and District Canoe Club.[6]
