Around & About Hope Valley & the Ladybower Reservoir

Ladybower Reservoir, nestled in the Peak District, offers a delightful walk without a fixed path. This circular route spans 5 miles, taking 1-2 hours. Along the way, you’ll encounter the awe-inspiring Derwent Dam, linked to the famous Dambusters raids during WWII. The well-made tracks and quiet pavements make it accessible for all, including cyclists, wheelchair users, and dog walkers. Free parking is available, and the Fairholmes Visitor Information Centre serves as a convenient starting point.
