Ladybower Reservoir (1080p)

Drone footage shot at Ladybower Reservoir in 1080p. Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped reservoir, the lowest of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. I got lucky to have blue skies and white clouds because usually it always rains in England.

Dambusters 65th Anniversary - Ladybower Reservoir, Derbyshire, 16th May 2008

Fly past by Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane and Dakota of the RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight over the Ladybower Reservoir to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the Dambuster raids by 617 Squadron led by Wing Commander Guy Gibson.

Rather a grey day, but we saw several flights up and down the Derwent Valley by these old aircraft - plus a Tornado and a couple of Phantoms.

617 Squadron practised their bomb aiming techniques on the Derwent Dam further up this valley. The Ladybower Reservoir was completed in 1943 and not filled until 1945.

DAY OUT VLOG - BAMFORD TO LADYBOWER RESERVOIR Peak District WALK

#Drone Footage Ladybower Reservoir

#Ladybower was built between 1935 and 1943 by the Derwent Valley Water Board to supplement the other two reservoirs in supplying the water needs of the #EastMidlands. It took a further two years to fill (1945). The #dam differs from the #HowdenReservoir and #DerwentReservoir in that it is a clay-cored earth #embankment, and not a solid masonry dam. #DJI #phantom4 #amazingdronevideos #drone #peakdistrict

Ladybower Dam & Waterfall

Derwent is a village 'drowned' under the Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire, England. The village of Ashopton, Derwent Woodlands church and Derwent Hall were also 'drowned' in the construction of the reservoir. There is no formal memorial to any of the villages. However, the site of the construction workers' temporary village when the higher Derwent and Howden Reservoirs were built is clearly marked by a plaque. The only marker of the location of Derwent is the village's War Memorial which stands above Ladybower Reservoir at a point to the west of the village.

The most significant surviving reminder of Derwent Village is the village's packhorse bridge, painted in 1925 by the artist Stanley Royle.[1] This originally spanned the River Derwent near the main gates of Derwent Hall, and was removed stone by stone as it had been designated a monument of national importance. The bridge was transported and rebuilt at the head of Howden Reservoir at Slippery Stones where it now forms part of the paths and cycle tracks around the Derwent Valley reservoirs.


The church tower of Derwent slowly disappearing below the water as the reservoir was filled in 1946
The church held its last service on 17 March 1943.[2] The bell from the church may still be heard in Derbyshire, however, since it was re-hung in St Philip's Church in Chaddesden, built in 1955. Bodies from the graveyard had been exhumed in 1940 and were reburied in the village of Bamford.[3] All buildings in the village had been demolished by autumn 1943, and the impounded waters of the reservoir began to rise by the end of 1944. The church spire was left intact to form a memorial to Derwent. However, it was dynamited on 15 December 1947, on the rationale of safety concerns. The site of the village has been revealed when the reservoir levels fell dramatically in 1976, 1989, 1996 and 2003.

Despite being flooded, a few houses survive above the waterline, and there remains a civil parish of Derwent. At the time of the 2001 UK census, it had a population of 51. At the 2011 Census the population remained less than 100. Details were included in the civil parish of Aston, Derbyshire.

The Derwent Valley Museum, located on the Derwent Reservoir dam and run privately by Vic Hallam, tells the history of the Derwent valley and of Derwent and Ashopton as well as the tale of RAF Squadron 617 (The Dam Busters) and its training for Operation Chastise during the Second World War.[4]
