Water Tower at Penylan Reservoir

The Water Tower at Penylan Reservoir is a square, two-stage structure built of red brick. It features a battered base topped by a freestone band, with clasping buttresses and a freestone embattled parapet. On the front side facing Cyncoed Road and the rear, there are blocked round-headed doorways with impost bands. The rear also has two superimposed round-headed windows in the tall lower stage, although the lower window is blocked. The side walls are adorned with tall, narrow blind arches in the lower stage. In the upper stage, the buttresses are corbelled out, and each face of the tower has four corbelled pilasters.
