헤이즐뱃지‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪11‬개의 호수

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

After rain this is even more impressive

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.

Check before you go as it’s not always overflowing. Lots of beautiful circular walks ranging from 3 miles to 22 miles.

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.

Approach the base of the Derwent Dam from Fairholmes car park and walk across the open field to get up close and personal with the overflowing torrent of white water. It’s a spectacular sight and the noise is incredible. Feel the mist generated by the cascade on your face. Wonderful viewpoint for photographs!

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
