Peasey Beck

Peasey Beck is a 19. 6km beck flowing through Cumbria, England. It rises on Lambrigg Fell where it is known as the Killington Beck, flows through Killington Reservoir and converges with Stainton Beck to form the River Bela at Milnthorpe. CourseThe source of the beck is on Lambrigg Fell at 980ft between Kendal and Sedbergh where it is known as the Killington Beck. Killington ReservoirAbout 0. 6mi from its source it is dammed and forms the Killington Reservoir or Killington Lake. The Lancaster Canal were empowered by an Act of Parliament obtained in 1807 to deviate from their original route, and to extract water from Farleton Beck, Stainton Beck and Crooklands Beck (later called Peasey Beck), rather than the River Mint. They bought 86acre of land in 1810, in order to build the reservoir, but over-stretched themselves, and construction had to wait until they had raised more money. It was eventually completed in 1819. It now covers an area of 140acre, as its banks have been raised several times. The M6 motorway passes immediately to the west of the reservoir, and Killington Lake Services, which is only accessible to southbound drivers, is situated on the bank. The services were built in 1972, soon after the motorway opened.
