ハランドでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Next view across conservation area down reservoir. Lots of bird life to look out for

Planning for the reservoir started in the 1960s and construction started in 1979. In 1984, there was a partial collapse of the dam before it was filled. The dam was removed before the construction of a new dam began in 1989. The finished reservoir was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1992.

A warm sanctuary on a cold day... Sit behind the glass, watching the water. 🌊

The village dates back to at least the Bronze Age. Kirk Ireton remains what it has always been, an agricultural village. Following the Second World War the number of working farms dropped from over thirty to half a dozen in the space of 40 years. Many of the former farm buildings have been adapted into houses. Much of the older part of the village dates back to the 17th century and is mostly built from sandstone, quarried locally.

Lot's of interesting carvings around.

Nice enclosed watching space with heating. A good shelter on a rough day.

Nice little tower nearer to the end of our walk. Informative board with the details and its nice you can walk to the top of the tower!

Interesting figures to view and take some shots. Fun for everybody!
