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

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.

Alpaca Farm - You can visit to walk the alpacas every weekend at 10am or 2pm "Visit the farm and meet the alpacas. The experience includes a trek around the farm situated in the stunning amber Valley in Derbyshire and then spending time with some of the alpacas born on the farm this year." You have to book though.

There's a lake/pond here, an old waterwheel at the side of the stone cottage - many pondskaters in the Summer, Herons and I saw a Kingfisher today ( who flew away when I tried to take a photo! )

That's what it is! I thought it was a hobbit house or similar lol

Vegan and vegetarian pub food is available here. Cider is quite pricey! Plenty of room to sit outside in the bear garden, but not a great view - jus opposite the road but the staff is friendly.

Lovely Church and cemetery to look around with some old and interesting gravestones
