リットンの滝・トップ9

この滝は木立の中にうまく隠されています。しかし、乾燥していると湿った崖壁に遭遇するため、雨季に訪れるのが最適です。

Nice area to stop by, have a snack and enjoy the peaceful noise of a running stream. Don't stop if you need to pee haha! :)

The "Twelve Weirs" on the River Lathkill are a series of small dams constructed during the Victorian era, primarily for trout fishing purposes. These weirs are located in Lathkill Dale, a picturesque limestone valley near Bakewell in Derbyshire's Peak District National Park. The valley is renowned for its natural beauty, including clear waters, waterfalls, and diverse wildlife. https://www.myccpay.it.com

The mill pond itself is not particularly exciting, but it tells a story of an industrial history now hidden in the trees and overgrowth that surrounds it. You can find out more about it on this website (https://www.peakdistrict.gov.uk/learning-about/archaeology/greens-mill) - There is a QR for this website located on the path close to the mill pond.

The River Lathkill is a winterbourne stream, it dries up over the summer. The Victorian's valued the clear water and excellent trout, so they built a series of weirs to trap the water and provide good fishing. There is a footpath through the woods on the north side of the river, allowing access and viewing of the weirs.

keep going a little further than the route suggests to see the 12 weirs

Very little to see and very overgrown with Brambles & Ferns, but enough to appreciate the history of what went on here in the past.

Pretty waterfall. Access down to the foot of it is unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues.
