Derbyshire's Ladybower reservoir was completed in 1945, providing drinking water for the cities of the north and east Midlands. It is the largest of a chain of 3 massive reservoirs which are known collectively as the "Peakland Lake District". Howden and Derwent Dams lie further up the valley. These 2 were used by the famous "Dambusters" in their experiments with Barnes Wallis' "bouncing bomb". Much of the film "The Dambusters" was filmed here. When Ladybower was built, it submerged 2 lovely villages, Derwent and Ashopton. Many buildings were sacrificed beneath the waters including ancient farms and Derwent Hall, a property of the Dukes of Norfolk dating from 1672. The spire of the parish church was visible for a while whenever the water level was low, but was demolished for safety reasons. There are many activities available in and around the Peakpad. This area is the UK mecca for mountain biking with fabulous routes starting and ending near to PeakPad. Stanage edge is a mile away and is used as a training ground for the UKs top climbers. Yoga retreat weekends are also available at peakpad. Go to the website for more information.
