Ladybower Reservoir, Water reservoir in Peak District National Park, England.
The Y-shaped Ladybower Reservoir features two concrete towers and spans 520 acres across the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire.
The construction of Ladybower Reservoir between 1935 and 1943 required flooding two villages, Ashopton and Derwent, to create the water supply infrastructure.
The reservoir and its concrete towers represent a significant engineering achievement from the 1940s, changing the local landscape of Derbyshire permanently.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails around the reservoir, with a circular path offering views of the water and surrounding Peak District landscape.
During severe droughts, the remains of the submerged Derwent village emerge from the water, revealing foundations of former buildings.
