The River Lathkill is a winterbourne stream, it dries up over the summer. The Victorian's valued the clear water and excellent trout, so they built a series of weirs to trap the water and provide good fishing. There is a footpath through the woods on the north side of the river, allowing access and viewing of the weirs.

The "Twelve Weirs" on the River Lathkill are a series of small dams constructed during the Victorian era, primarily for trout fishing purposes. These weirs are located in Lathkill Dale, a picturesque limestone valley near Bakewell in Derbyshire's Peak District National Park. The valley is renowned for its natural beauty, including clear waters, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife.
