Nice place to start a hike up to Crich Stand or Ashover

beautiful peaceful spot with car park and bird hide

Not great to walk around unless you want to walk on the road a lot. There is no direct access to the reservoir because it is a conservation site. The car park is free and there are benches to sit on to watch the birds. Ognaston Bird Club conducts a guided bird walk on the first Saturday of each month and everyone is welcome. With them, you can access the reservoir surrounding areas to watch birds. If you want great views of the reservoir however you can combine a visit with a footpath walk up from the reservoir through fields and these are quite well signposted and accessible except from a slim squeeze with a holly hedge on one side and part of a footpath which is quite nettly - but will probably be okay by Autumn.

The church dates from the late 13th century but was heavily rebuilt in 1850 by the contractor C. Lindley of Mansfield to the designs of the architect Thomas Chambers Hine. It reopened on 1 January 1851.

The plantation has been grown on land that was once one of the colliery spoil heaps.

The church dates from the 15th century. Alterations were made in the 17th century. It was restored between 1848 and 1849 under the direction of the architect Henry Isaac Stevens and was re-opened by the Bishop of Lichfield on 24 January 1849. The church was restored again in 1929.

Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding the local valley in 1958. The flooding covered the village of Woolley as well as a pub, farmland and a section of the Ashover Light Railway. The reservoir provides drinking water to the local area and is also used as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water. Today it's managed as a water source and leisure ground. The footpaths around the reservoir are popular locally. The Ogston sailing club is known for starting off Ellen MacArthur and it's also a popular trout fishing lake.

Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding this valley back in 1958, the residents were moved to nearby Wooley Moor village. Managed by Severn Trent it supplies water to the surrounding area and acts as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water. It's an important site for birds with over 200 species recorded here.
