Ladybower

It`s a beautiful Sunday morning , we pack our lunch into our rucksack and head for the "Peak District " hills.
We decide to walk the Lady bower Reservoir today , we have driven past but never stopped to walk and admire this fantastic scenery.
Before WW11 the new reservoir was started and finished in 1946 , two villages ,Ashopton and Derwent were demolished and flooded to make the new water provider.

There was lots of designated parking areas along the winding road which lead to a visitor centre and toilets and refreshments were available.
We parked along the roadside and walked down a slope to meet the path.

The path has some unusual way markers which I thought were fabulous.

Honey enjoyed her walk as we did , and the views were great.

 

                                We look forward to walking in the Peak District again soon :)
