- Ghostly Remains of a Doomed Peak District Valley - Derwent Reservoir Exposed to Slippery Stones
Join me as i walk from Derwent Dam and alongside Derwent Reservoir, unpicking any remains and history that i can find from the former Derwent Valley prior to its flooding in 1916.
Beyond Derwent Reservoir we approach Howden Dam and then Howden Reservoir. I continue on, looking for clues of the past, what once was, before arriving at my destintation of the former Derwent Village Pack Horse Bridge at Slippery Stones. Once residing besdie the long gone Derwent Hall.

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.
Thanks very much as always ❤️
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
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.
Thanks Ant, for that adventure!
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you
Very impressive, beautiful soundtrack too 😃
Hi Ant, WoW those are some beautiful bridges and dams. I really like the last bridge. Thanks again for a great video
Thanks very much Johney. I imagine there a little fuller now
It's a great spot when it's quiet up there at slippery stones,one of my favourite places.
That was amazing,
Thankyou thankyou thankyou.
Please keep it up.
💖🙏💖
What can I say that already hasn't been said, except thank you very much Ant.
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......
Absolute quality as always top man keep them coming 👍
Another Masterpiece Ant 🤩
Thanks very much indeed 😊
Another stunning presentation. Thank YOU
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! ❤😊
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.
Wow...! Tĥanks Ant.
Thanks very much for watching
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.
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 👍🏼😃
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 video Ant, such a beautiful place ,and good choice of music for it,😃
Been there many times, now I know the history. Superb video again. Thank you 👌🏼
I'm probably there too often but I love it 😊
Lovely, thank you :) I was following on the old maps on the National Library of Scotland !
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
Thanks very much Jan very kind 😊
Thank you for todays video. Always enjoy coming here to this site. A beautiful place even today. Looking forward to the next. Enjoy the week ahead. See you on the next, Ant!. Cheers man friend! ❤😊
@@martinmarsola6477 hope you are okay my friend. I've plenty more lined up
@@TrekkingExploration Again, will patiently be waiting!!!!!
Brilliant as usual 👏 😊
Thanks very much Andrew 😀
Very interesting. Not my area but i will certainly have to visit sometime. Looks amazing. Thanks for sharing, Ant.
Quality stuff as usual. Thanks.
Thanks very much Jon ☺️
Very interesting Ant - thanks for sharing 😉🙂🚂🚂🚂
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.
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
Another great and interesting video,thanks very much.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you
Cheers Ant another great video love derwent..
Thanks Andrew very kind
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.
Thanks
So very kind thank you ❤️
Thanks so much, very informative and really enjoyed it.
Brilliant Andrew thank you ☺️
They had to construct the wall on the east side of Howden dam as they had trouble with water getting around the dam wall.
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.
It would be good wouldn't it? I guess battery life is an issue. Howden is now around 90% full and Ladybower is overflowing. Derwent has a way to go yet
@@OscarLodge I'm hoping they got all the work completed
@@TrekkingExploration I suppose you could park a vehicle somewhere with one of those huge power banks the camping channels promote to death every summer to power the camera. With a bit of clever electronics you could hook it up to the wipers so it clears the windscreen before each shot too
Brilliant and fascinating video, as usual. How's Amy after her head banging episode ?
That bridge carries the pipeline over Hollinclough that is why it has those lower arches.
such an area of marvel and beauty ant
Thank you for watching as always
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.?
Probably the same reason the gas board dig a brand new road up. Closely followed by eleccy board then sewers..
Lack of forethought ,communication and co operation. 😄 Or they simply weren't ready during the drought
@@Mitch-Hendren Thanks, sounds about right.
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?
The stills are from a Pixel 7 phone.
Footage from a GoPro on most occasions.
Glad you enjoyed it thank you ☺️
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?
Probably around 1912 to completion in 1916. It looks quite advanced
Were the people of Hancock Farm in anyway related to the Hancock family of Riley Farm of Eyam village and Plague 'fame'?
Same Derwent as the housing service 😅
Gonna take the mountain bike up there .. ..
It's definitely worth doing the full circular route
theres an entire village buried under Derwent Reservoir including a church, but the tower was demolished due to people swimming out too it
Do you have a break from filming over winter?
I've just had one over September 👍
@@TrekkingExploration amazing channel got my dad hooked on anything railway you put out. He now dragging me out visiting anything railway related near me
@@GarethL2008 ha ha ha ha ha that's quite funny
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 .
