ダーウェントでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Derwent Dam is very impressive whether it has water falling or not always worth a visit and close to fairholmes visitor centre

After rain this is even more impressive

Derwent Dam, is a stunning neo-Gothic construction that far transcends function alone. Built between 1902 and 1916, it is 340 m in length and 35 m high. The dam is famously linked to WWII history; RAF’s 617 Squadron, the “Dambusters”, trained here using “bouncing bombs”.

Beautiful at sunset

View from bottom of Derwent Dam

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

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!

This is basically a bench in a small open room at the end of a barn. It's built and maintained by the National Trust as a shelter for walkers who pass this point. It's a great place for lunch or a cup of tea.
