Built in the 1960s, the Valve Tower at Grafham Water is space age in design. It houses the equipment used to regulate the flow of water. The reservoir was built to accommodate a water supply for the new town of Milton Keynes.

The valve tower at Grafham Lake homes the controls that operate the opening and closing of the gates/valves allowing the reservoir water to be correctly regulated. The tower was built in the 1960s and resembles something of a spaceship!
