The path along the top of Ladybower Dam affords a wonderful view of the reservoir nestling in the Upper Derwent Valley. You also get a close look at the reservoir …
A gorgeous little village, with a duck pond, ancient stone cross and a very lovely pub (The Bull's Head) which, if you time your journey right, makes for a great place to stop and refuel.
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.
