ブラッケンフィールドでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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

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.

Alpaca Farm - You can visit to walk the alpacas every weekend at 10am or 2pm "Visit the farm and meet the alpacas. The experience includes a trek around the farm situated in the stunning amber Valley in Derbyshire and then spending time with some of the alpacas born on the farm this year." You have to book though.

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! )

Nice views including Ogston Reservoir and Ogston Hall.

Higham Farm Fishery consists of four lakes, stocked with Bream, Tench, Perch, Roach and Carp. The Lakes are surrounded by mature trees, day tickets to fish are £7, carp weights in excess of 20lbs. Car Park on Site.

Horsecar Brook flows south from Clay Cross and joins the young River Amber which flows out of Ogston Reservoir. The River flows from here to join the Derwent at Ambergate.
