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.

When the Derwent reservoir is full, the water flows out through the 'plugholes' at the southern end. A mesmerising spectacle when there's a lot of water flowing and can be enhanced by a great sunrise.

Rather than overflowing the Dam wall, as the Derwent Reservoir further up, there are two plugholes, one either shore of the reservoir next to the Dam. When these are (over) flowing water they are used to produce electricity. The water travels under the Dam and is funneled back into the Derwent River

Beautiful view of the plug holes or shaft spillways running due to high levels in the reservoir.

foolow church is so cute !! has a little corner for walkers' refreshments too, if open
