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

Coming from the car park this seems like the obvious way to go, however I do not recommend it. The path of overgrown and not very well taken care of. To get to the public swim spot you’ll either need to cross the river, as many do, or wade through elbows tall grass to get to the main path. If you follow the road itself a little further you can find a much better public path.

Small craggy tunnel, don't know how far this goes into the rock, I assume it's an exploration shaft from the Lead Mining industrial past.

Nice place to sit just by the bridge

Great traditional pub and shops for refuelling

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

Lathkill Dale is absolutely gorgeous with it’s crystal clear water that’s so clear it’s like looking into an aquarium, there is an abundance of wildlife with Swans, Ducks, Dippers and Kingfisher’s above the surface with Otters, Brown Trout and rainbow Trout below the surface, be careful if you fancy a sit down on a raised stone as the Otters leave their spraint on them 😁 I nearly sat in one, there are many places to start walking this Dale but a great one is to park in Alport village and walk to Lathkill Dale proper.
