	Walk #145: A circular walk to Margery Hill from Derwent Resevoir
		A hard but rewarding walk along the eastern sides of Derwent and Howden Reservoirs before ascending to the Trig point on Margery Hill, the highest point in the county of South Yorkshire.
		Howden dam was built in 1901 and Derwent dam in 1916, and a village called Birchinlee was built to house the workers on these two dams.
		The larger reservoir of Ladybower immediatey to the south of Fairholmes car park was finished in 1943 and took two years to fill.

		Howden, Derwent and Ladybower Reservoirs dominate the Valley.
		The road runs all the way to the top of Howden Reservoir but due to a lack of parking, is closed from Fairholmes to all but disabled badge holders on Sundays, summer Saturdays (Easter to mid October) and Bank Holidays.
		Though often almost birdless, the reservoirs do have a good record for turning up divers and grebes in hard weather and as such, are always worth a check.

	Welcome to The Dalesman
		A circuit of the Upper Derwent valley and its reservoirs makes one of the finest low routes in the Peak, but for many it is too long and involves some road waking.
		From the little roundabout by the bus stop at the end of the tarmac road, go through the gate and follow the flinted forest road that continues between the spruce trees and the Howden Reservoir.
		The Howden Reservoir was the first of the Derwent Reservoirs to be started in 1901: the Derwent was started a year later.

	Ladybower and the Derwent Dams, Derbyshire, England, situated in the Peak District (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Upper Valley of the Derwent is a deep valley surrounded by gritstone edges and dominated by three great reservoirs, constructed by the Derwent Valley Water Board primarily to provide water for Sheffield.
		The upper two dams, Howden and Derwent, were constructed between 1901 and 1916 and they were such a large undertaking that a village called Birchinlee was constructed in the upper valley to house the workers and a narrow-gauge railway was built between Howden Dam and the Midland Railway at Bamford.
		Despite protests the dam went ahead and was finished in 1943, though the reservoir took a further two years to fill.

		This reservoir links up with Howden reservoir and Derwent reservoir, supplying water to Sheffield, Leicester, Derby and Nottingham, and it differs from the other two dams in that it consists of an earthwork embankment with a clay core.
		The decision to flood the Derwent valley was originally proposed in 1900, subject to the purchase from the Duke of Norfolk of Derwent Hall and the adjoining land.
		Ladybower and its connecting reservoirs are beautiful, serene stretches of water in the glorious Derbyshire countryside; the whole area is a haven for walkers and cyclists, and I have visited it many times and absorbed its beauty.

		The Upper Derwent Valley was very attractive for building reservoirs as it had long deep valleys with narrow points for dam building, a high rainfall (average 1350 mm per year) and an almost uninhabited moorland catchment area.
		Gothic style dams were built to contain the waters of Howden Reservoir (1912) and Derwent Reservoir (1916).
		A Water Act was passed in 1973 and in 1974 the Derwent Valley Water Board's reservoirs and land were transferred to the newly formed Severn Trent Water Authority, the second largest in the country.

		South of here, the reservoir continues, and there's also a bit of it off to the west.
		With a strong wind blowing the hail about it was quite painful for a while, but it soon passed, and we got a rainbow for a while before the rain stopped entirely and we could finish the walk in sunshine.
		The upper reservoir, Howden Reservoir, is separated from the middle one, the unimaginitively titled Derwent Reservoir, by the Howden Dam.

		Most are attracted to the apparent 'wilderness' of the conifer-skirted high moorlands or to gentle rambles around the three reservoirs, taking in views of the Derwent and Howden dams which dominate the valley with their Gothic style towers.
		The road along the western side of Howden Reservoir is particularly popular, shaded by mixed-wood plantations which are particularly evocative in autumn when the spruce and beech turn many hues of yellow and orange.
		The Derwent and Howden dams project had the provision of workers' housing included in its Parliamentary Act of Consent and the resulting Derwent Valley Water Board appears to have carried out its obligations with energy and efficiency.

		This is delightful, quiet territory at any season, in any sort of weather, and now in rising spring we listened to the larksong as we went down towards the reservoir, en route for the high lift of gritstone escarpment that is Hartcliff, beyond Langsett village.
		As we went up the broad dip slope, returning towards the ridgetop line of the old saltway, it was now possible to pick out the dark shaft of Emley Moor TV tower, eight miles due north.
		Langsett reservoir appeared as a pot of gold, reflecting the hazy sun as it descended beyond the Howden Moors.

	The Upper Catchment
		This is a naturally filling reservoir, with water flowing by gravity either for treatment at the Bamford Water Treatment Works and then via the Derwent Valley Aqueduct to the Midlands or supplied to Yorkshire Water via the Rivelin Tunnel.
		Originally solely operating in conjunction with Howden Reservoir, increasing demand led to the construction of an intake from the River Ashop.
		While it increased the usable catchment, ensuring security of supply, water from Ladybower needs pumping from the reservoir to the water treatment works and the Rivelin Tunnel, giving it the the most expensive running costs of the three upper reservoirs.
