Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding this valley back in 1958, the residents were moved to nearby Wooley Moor village.
Managed by Severn Trent it supplies water to the surrounding area and acts as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water.
It's an important site for birds with over 200 species recorded here.
