Planning for the reservoir started in the 1960s and construction started in 1979. In 1984, there was a partial collapse of the dam before it was filled. The dam was removed before the construction of a new dam began in 1989. The finished reservoir was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1992.

A warm sanctuary on a cold day... Sit behind the glass, watching the water. 🌊

The village dates back to at least the Bronze Age. Kirk Ireton remains what it has always been, an agricultural village. Following the Second World War the number of working farms dropped from over thirty to half a dozen in the space of 40 years. Many of the former farm buildings have been adapted into houses. Much of the older part of the village dates back to the 17th century and is mostly built from sandstone, quarried locally.

Nice enclosed watching space with heating. A good shelter on a rough day.

Take a silly pic and post on this highlight, enjoying the ones so far!

Nice little tower nearer to the end of our walk. Informative board with the details and its nice you can walk to the top of the tower!

Very nice spot for a break with a view. The benches are comically tall though!

This tower was initially a mystery to us, but we later discovered that it houses the pumping system for the water. It also looks quite cool floating on the water.
