	My Walking Diary - Saturday 9 September 2006
		This morning I met a group of friends at the Heatherdene car park next to Ladybower reservoir in Derbyshire at map ref. SK 202860, at around 10.30am.
		We crossed the road in front of the car park and walked around the edge of the reservoir on the pavement at the side of the road for about 1km to map ref. SK 195865.
		We crossed the footbridge over the river and walked along the path downstream to follow the edge of the reservoir for almost 6km to the dam at map ref. SK 197855.

	UK Scuba - ladybower reservoir (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		To: Scuba-UK Subject: Ladybower / Derwent / Poetry Yep - Ladybower, or more accurately Derwent has a "sunken" village that shows up from drought to even worse drought but the peaty water and general pooness of the water makes it a pointless dive.
		I should know, my club is Glossop SAC a mere few miles away and we also had to work in another nearby resie to extract an overturned truk trailer loaded with mega rolls of printing paper.
		The best thing about Ladybower / Derwent is mountain biking around it in the winter.

		The Ladybower Reservoir is the newest of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire.
		It was completed in 1945 to provide drinking water for the cities of the north and east Midlands.
		Bizarrely, the reservoir’s selected location meant that the villages of Derwent and Ashopton had to be sacrificed in its waters, although the church spire was still used until recently for boat moorings when water levels were low.

	Peak District Walks, Walking Derwent Edge, Derbyshire, from Fairholmes.
		Fairholmes at the top of Ladybower reservoir can offer a starting point for a whole host of walks onto the moors directly or via Howden and Derwent reservoirs.
		One of my favourite Peak District winter walks, especially after a cold spell and snow, turns to the right out of the carpark, past Derwent dam (of Dambusters practice fame) and along the reservoir road on the eastern (Sheffield) side of the water.
		A short while after passing the site of Derwent village, which was drowned when the reservoir was constructed, follow a bridle path, paved with flagstone, which rises diagonally across a field on the left.
