Like most of the places in this area its so beautiful nice area to walk and the history that goes with.it.This is where the dam busters trained in the war.Well worth a visit

Best done on a dry day - nice toilets - pleasant shop with a snack bar and safe walking - with alternative routes for the disabled

We had a lovely visit to the dambuster museum today. A fantastic setting high up in the dam wall with lots of photos and information about the dams, the families that built them and the bouncing bomb story. They had the sound effects of a roaring lancaster bomber and the music of the dambusters playing so it was really emotive.... More

Traveled to the Derwent dam with friends over the weekend, Very busy, with limited car parking, cafe, toilets, shop and bike hire available. Plenty of walking and cycling routes. A must is the visit the Dam Buster Museum in the tower of the Dam which also has a memorial plaque. Plenty of scenic views.

The whole area of the upper Derwent valley is a joy to behold and a tribute to Severn Trent . The hidden gem is the Dambusters museum in the west tower of the Derwent dam with its curator , Vic Hallam .

Just got back from watching the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight flypast to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Dambusters raid. Traffic was, as you can imagine, going to be a challenge so we went on bike. Organisation of traffic control and the super efficiency of the snack outlet, the orderly queues for the loos, the good humour of all... More

Park up in one of the off-road car parks or pay at the visitors center. Start on the right hand side with the resevoirs on the left, this side... More

You find the Upper Derwent Valley just off the A57 Snake Pass in Derbyshire, there you can see the Ladybower, Derwent & Howden Reservoirs. The visitor centre at Fairholmes is a lovely little area for picnics and relaxing, the car park is a reasonable size but can get quite congested later in the day, parking here is £4.70 for all...

Walked the valley between Derwent and Howden dams, which took a couple of hours. Beautiful wild countryside, with a real sense of getting away from the hurly burly of modern life. Lots of good paths, and the side road can be used as there is very little traffic apart from the odd cyclist. There is a museum about the Dambusters... More
