Stunning reservoir with great views and 2 plug holes which you don’t often see. Would also recommend going to Derwent Dam to see the beautiful dam wall.
We did the the 12 mile Ladybower and Derwent Edge circular route

You probably didn't visit the area for this, but it's at the centre of everything

Bamford Edge, Win Hill, Snake Pass, Derwent Edge, Crook hill and so many places surround this water. I've seen RAF Chinooks fly along the water. Seen various birds fly over the water. It's a beautiful stretch of water, surrounded by trails, forest, gritstone edges. There is even a bus service that runs to Sheffield

For Photographers, it's definitely a place to take photos. Whether by one of the lakeside paths, or high above on the Peaks and Edges, you can get great wide angle or long lens photos

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of visiting Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District. The serene beauty of the reservoir, nestled amidst rolling hills and lush greenery, was truly breathtaking. The calm waters, surrounded by picturesque landscapes, provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
I spent the afternoon enjoying a leisurely walk around the reservoir, taking in the stunning views and appreciating the tranquility of the surroundings. The well-maintained paths made it easy to explore the area, and I even spotted a few friendly ducks swimming in the water.
If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic getaway, I highly recommend visiting Ladybower Reservoir. It's a hidden gem in the Peak District that offers a truly relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Lovely day walking north along the east side of Ladybower in the sunshine, visited on a quiet Tuesday and saw few people.
Walking to the dam above Ladywatee and back was enough for us. Nice wide path and benches along the way to rest and enjoy the peaceful day.
Car park was reasonably priced and the post walk baked potatoes were a godsend!

Ladybower reservoir dam built between 1935 to 1943 , This reservoir supplies a large amount of water to the mainland.
Yo can see picturesque scenery everywhere, good for Family Trips, and people who love hiking. Car parking will be difficult to find during holidays and weekends and there's public toilets facilities in the car park.

Parked at heatherdean carpark off snake road opposite the reservoir, parking is 6.50 for all day, although there is a shorter option.
Great walk to the end of this particular reservoir is a good solid trail about 3.5 / 4 mile long. Great views, nice a peaceful.
