The 7 acre lake is situated in Allestree Park which is some 320 acres, making it the largest open space in Derby. It is a mixed fishery with specimen carp, tench, bream, pike and silvers.

There are eight transmitter masts visible on the top of the hill (one of them is shorter).

Car Park has been reopened with an automatic electronic gate that's only open between set times March-Oct 8am - 7pm Nov-Feb 8am - 5pm

Beautiful nature reserve, easy access, perfect for families, plenty of paths to explore

The National Trust have now closed the car park (since 2020, still closed in Spring 2022) apparently due to "anti-social behaviour". No car parking nearby but can still be accessed by walkers and, after climbing over a mound of earth, by cyclists.

At the heart of the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site, the town of Belper has a fascinating industrial history. Hot on the heels of Cromford to the north, it was home to some of the world's first water-powered cotton spinning mills, built by Jedediah Strutt. In 1803, Strutt's North Mill was rebuilt using the world's first fireproof iron frame. This was to become the blueprint for modern skyscrapers. The town is beautifully situated on the River Derwent and is an important stop on the Derwent Valley Heritage Way. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as good accommodation options in the town.

Wyver Lane Nature Reserve is a superb spot for an amble, particularly for wildlife lovers. It comprises two pools surrounded by reed beds and water meadows. It's an important wetland site and home to Canada geese, tufted ducks, little grebes, while large numbers of gulls visit in winter. The reserve is also home to otters, a glorious sight.

A good spot for bird watching.
