ブラッドフィールドの湖・トップ20

After rain this is even more impressive

Check before you go as it’s not always overflowing. Lots of beautiful circular walks ranging from 3 miles to 22 miles.

When the Derwent reservoir is full, the water flows out through the 'plugholes' at the southern end. A mesmerising spectacle when there's a lot of water flowing and can be enhanced by a great sunrise.

Approach the base of the Derwent Dam from Fairholmes car park and walk across the open field to get up close and personal with the overflowing torrent of white water. It’s a spectacular sight and the noise is incredible. Feel the mist generated by the cascade on your face. Wonderful viewpoint for photographs!

Rather than overflowing the Dam wall, as the Derwent Reservoir further up, there are two plugholes, one either shore of the reservoir next to the Dam. When these are (over) flowing water they are used to produce electricity. The water travels under the Dam and is funneled back into the Derwent River

Beautiful view of the plug holes or shaft spillways running due to high levels in the reservoir.

Ladybower is a large reservoir in the Upper Derwent Valley surrounded by rugged moorland, rolling farmland and majestic woodland. Above, beside and along the reservoir, breathtaking views await. The reservoir was built between 1935 and 1943. It was officially opened by King George VI in September 1945.

Bamford Edge consists of a set of rocks protruding from a towering hilltop in the Peak District National Park. The views from here are incomparable, feel ontop of the world as you gaze toward Ladybower Dam and the rolling countryside that surrounds it.
