オグストン貯水池のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Ogston Reservoirを見下ろすとても良い眺めでした

Nice place to start a hike up to Crich Stand or Ashover

beautiful peaceful spot with car park and bird hide

A brilliant loop route

A great starting point for walks

Not great to walk around unless you want to walk on the road a lot. There is no direct access to the reservoir because it is a conservation site. The car park is free and there are benches to sit on to watch the birds. Ognaston Bird Club conducts a guided bird walk on the first Saturday of each month and everyone is welcome. With them, you can access the reservoir surrounding areas to watch birds. If you want great views of the reservoir however you can combine a visit with a footpath walk up from the reservoir through fields and these are quite well signposted and accessible except from a slim squeeze with a holly hedge on one side and part of a footpath which is quite nettly - but will probably be okay by Autumn.

There's a lake/pond here, an old waterwheel at the side of the stone cottage - many pondskaters in the Summer, Herons and I saw a Kingfisher today ( who flew away when I tried to take a photo! )

This is a fabulous little shop selling groceries, confectionery, ice cream and amazing homemade cakes 😋👌🏻
