Ghostly Remains of a Doomed Peak District Valley - Derwent Reservoir Exposed to Slippery Stones 

Fantastic video. If you live near this area please don't take it for granted, get out there, explore and learn if you can. You are so lucky to live in a place with this history. And thanks to Ant to bringing it to the rest of us in such a professional way.

Stunning photography. Beautiful scenery. So informative. Thank you Ant, music excellent choice.

When I worked at Crookhill Farm in the late seventies we used to gather sheep off Ronksley moor down to the sheep pens at slippery stones then walk them down the road back to the farm for lambing / shearing/ dipping etc ,absolutely loved it , so many happy memories of my time there

It's a great spot when it's quiet up there at slippery stones,one of my favourite places.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I love the fact they rebuilt the bridge for us to enjoy many years later.

Thanks Ant. So much to see there. Appreciated mate, cheers.

Another stunning presentation. Thank YOU

Thanks Ant, for that adventure!

If those old foundations could only talk, just think of the stories they could tell. From the old bridge photo, the trees really made a comeback. That smaller bridge that was taken apart and moved reminds me of how the London Bridge was taken apart and moved -- but a lot further away, 5,285 miles to Lake Havasu Arizona......

Hi Ant, WoW those are some beautiful bridges and dams. I really like the last bridge. Thanks again for a great video

That was amazing, Thankyou thankyou thankyou. Please keep it up. 💖🙏💖

Very impressive, beautiful soundtrack too 😃

What can I say that already hasn't been said, except thank you very much Ant.

Another Masterpiece Ant 🤩

Absolute quality as always top man keep them coming 👍

Wow...! Tĥanks Ant.

Another absolutely stunning episode, Ant. I hadn't realised about this bridge being relocated. I learn something new every time. When you ended this and put the camera away, is that the point when you nipped up to the shooting cabin? Thanks for sharing, Ant. I really love this series.

Hi Ant, loved this video that arched bridge is stunning. Been there so many tomes to the dam butvnever crossed that bridge something i must do. Great old photos of the sheep! ❤😊

Been there many times, now I know the history. Superb video again. Thank you 👌🏼

Fantastic video as always Ant. Wasn’t expecting to see Derwent Reservoir levels low again so soon (even though artificially lowered this time of course). Some great features there - those arches are a masterpiece. Cracking HDR shots at the end too 👍🏼😃

Brilliant as usual 👏 😊

Thanks for that great video Ant. I was up there a couple of weeks ago. You certainly improved my understanding of the area. Many thanks

Lovely, thank you :) I was following on the old maps on the National Library of Scotland !

Great video of these two beautiful reservoirs and Howden Dam. Nice to see the gem of the old pack horse bridge restored in its new location.

Lovely video Ant, such a beautiful place ,and good choice of music for it,😃

Very interesting. Not my area but i will certainly have to visit sometime. Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing, Ant.

Quality stuff as usual. Thanks.

Very interesting Ant - thanks for sharing 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂

Cheers Ant another great video love derwent..

Am i the only.one who finds it somewhat spooky being at that level and looking up at the menacing dam wall

Love watching all your videos the history you share is brilliant keep up the great walk of our countryside xx

Another great and interesting video,thanks very much.

Thankyou so much Ant for this wonderful informative video, I kindly asked you by posting on your Derwent Ladybower reservoir ruins videos last year .That could you please possibly take a visit to slippery stones .I am so grateful you did a amazing recapture , i am so glad you did go to see the beautiful bridge. It really is amazing exactly as it was originally, when Derwent was still a village back in the 1940s sadly before the demise. This packhorse bridge was not rebuilt stone by stone till the late 1950s when sufficient funds were raised for it to be rebuilt at the slippery stones.location . Maybe your next recapture may be the grand stone entrance pillars at the entrance of entering Bamford they are exactly rebuilt as they were at Derwent hall before the hall was demolished. it may be difficult to film them with traffic passing but they are either side of the road coming into Bamford . these are the only remaining rebuilt stone memories we can see today. apart from interior fittings distributed to different internal locations all info can be found on the net.

Thanks

Was just in this area yesterday, and wondered what the green dome was for, (by the bench near the plug-holes at Yorkshire bridge)

I remember a church spire sticking out of the water but not sure which reservoir it was. Great video, thanks.

Another great ep from this area that just keeps giving👍👍👍 Love to know the reasoning behind the design of that first bridge, so unusual and overengineered for carrying sheep😂😂😂 As you said, unreal that people stood on that bridge in a different location. Thanks Ant, top quality production as always

Thanks so much, very informative and really enjoyed it.

They had to construct the wall on the east side of Howden dam as they had trouble with water getting around the dam wall.

That bridge carries the pipeline over Hollinclough that is why it has those lower arches.

Brilliant and fascinating video, as usual. How's Amy after her head banging episode ?

such an area of marvel and beauty ant

I wonder what it's like today after all the rain we had last week. Would be cool to set up a time lapse for a couple of days somewhere like that next time we have a big storm.

What a nice clip, and the impressive pictures of the bridge that you used in the end are great! Ant, what kind of camera do you use for the images?

Well done for an excellent tour of Derwent Reservoir and Stepping Stones. The bridges are stunning. I particularly liked the photographs during construction and seeing the equipment being used. What date would that have been, please?

Same Derwent as the housing service 😅

I love all of your videos, but i confess the ones around the reservoirs are my favourites, especially combined with what i call the "Ladybower music" I do have a Question though, which may seem a stupid one to those who knows about these things.... Why didn't they do the maintenance and survey during the drought when the reservoir was nearly empty.?

theres an entire village buried under Derwent Reservoir including a church, but the tower was demolished due to people swimming out too it

Were the people of Hancock Farm in anyway related to the Hancock family of Riley Farm of Eyam village and Plague 'fame'?

Gonna take the mountain bike up there .. ..

Do you have a break from filming over winter?

Kind of curious if the drop-down sections in the arches of the bridge were put there to act as a flow-check to slow the rush of water coming down off the moor above.

Do enjoy your vids . But on this one why do they put distances in km . It should be miles or yards . This is something that's not right over here .
