Site Details
Beside the River Derwent in Belper, which is 6 miles north of Derby. The site is made up of one large lake and a couple that vary in size dependent upon river flooding, etc. Also woodland (mixed) and farmland in the Derwent valley. There is lots of reed and surrounding cover. The reserve is owned by the Derbyshire Wildlife Trust. It occasionally gets some goodies (Bittern, Marsh Harrier, Peregrine, Garganey, Wood Warbler and Mediterranean Gull all recently). More usual are waterfowl, hirundines, warblers and occasional raptors.

Permit-only hide.Key Areas / Routes
Firstly the walk is along the lane through woods. There is a fishing pond on the right. Then the river comes into view (Common Sandpiper here) and then the big reedy lake. Walk on and observe the smaller lakes and more mixed woodland. There is a good area on the right around the pond for warblers. The walk is not circular, so retrace your steps.Did you know that you can submit photographs to be included in this sites image gallery?
