Peak District walk named among UK's most beautiful autumn routes

Summarised from Manchester Evening News's report · Updated 13 Oct, 08:19 · Archive

A Derwent Valley walk in the Peak District has been named among The Times's 20 most beautiful UK autumn walks. The area, home to the Howden, Derwent and Ladybower Reservoirs, features waterside trails and moorland views with rich autumnal scenery. Photo opportunities are plentiful as the water's surface mirrors the autumn colours.

The Times describes the walk as tracing the water's edge from the turreted Derwent Dam, climbing through fields and steep-sided cloughs to emerge on the Derwent moors. In autumn, the fells turn copper and bronze, and the walk offers opportunities to spot ring ouzels gathering before migrating to Africa and brown mountain hares beginning to change into their winter coats. For those seeking an easier route, a reservoir path offers a smooth and flat surface without challenging terrain.
