オグストン貯水池のおすすめMTBライド

非常に静かで平和な場所です

Ogston Reservoirを見下ろすとても良い眺めでした

Leads to a beautiful little place called Smalley brooks and ponds, was very muddy and bit flooded in places

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

beautiful peaceful spot with car park and bird hide

Single track through the woods, steep drop off to one side so keep your wits about you

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.

Vegan and vegetarian pub food is available here. Cider is quite pricey! Plenty of room to sit outside in the bear garden, but not a great view - jus opposite the road but the staff is friendly.
