Nice spot for a breather after descending from Bonsall & Ball Eye Quarry. Built around 1780, one of the ponds created for the three water wheels used to power Cromford Mill

Truly beautiful spot, one of those “I’m so lucky to live in Derbyshire” locations

Hiking

Not just a pond but the reservoir for the nearby Arkwright's Cromford Mills. You've hiked this far so a slight detour? to the Mills would be worth the effort.
