Plenty of wildlife pictures to be taken there, with ducks and other birds

Arrive mid-morning on a crisp autumn day to wander the quaint village green with its medieval cross, duck pond, and bull-ring—perfect for photos of the limestone cottages without crowds. Grab a hearty pub lunch at The Bull’s Head, savoring local ales and farm-fresh dishes, then embark on the easy 2.4-mile walk to nearby Eyam (the “Plague Village”) for a dose of history amid rolling dales. Park at the edge of the village (limited spots), wear comfy shoes for the quiet lanes, and time your visit for late August if you can catch the colorful well dressings festival

A good place to rest, have a chat and replenish the energy for the climbs ahead.

The pond within ancient woodlands and open moorlands; a serene spot to appreciate the natural beauty of the area or take a picnic in the Summer. Birdwatchers will find ducks and herons. Photographers will be interested in the changing colors over the seasons. But as it is located near the main car park of the Longshaw Estate and easily accessible; it can get crowded, in particular at week-ends.

Great spot for migrating birds. Sitting on the dam wall with a cuppa whiling the time away.

The Whitworth building and park are steeped in Victorian industrial history. Lady Louisa Whitworth, wife of the industrialist Sir Joseph Whitworth, had a vision of creating a place where people could meet for leisure, recreational and educational purposes. The Whitworth is unique in that it is the only surviving Whitworth foundation that continues to operate under the terms of its original endowment. Once a Victorian boating lake the ponds are now home to an abundance of wildlife all year round.

Built in 1882 by the Chesterfield Union Water Works, Barbrook Reservoir (or Still as it was called then) held around 100 million gallons of water fed by the Totley Moss to supply the homes of the below valley. It was used for almost 100 years until decommissioning in the 1970s. It fell into disrepair and eventually was breached in 1999. The ‘dried’ reservoir bed is now a nature reserve and forms a peaceful oasis.
