Steep Bridleway

Highlight • Climb

When exploring new trails a 'steep bridleway' sign is a most welcomed one. This trail is a short and fairly spicy. Nice technical singletrack with some smart corners to get your back end around. Highly recommend.

Gregory Mine Chimney

Highlight • Structure

Gregory mine is an old Lead mine which appears to have been worked from the early 1700s and certainly continuously from 1734 to 1803. In it's time it was one of the most productive Lead mines in Derbyshire. Little currently remains of the original mine with the only structure still left standing being a chimney.

In its hay day the mine was said to have produced over 500 tonnes of ore a year and was very profitable. However, towards the end of the 18th century the main vein was exhausted and despite the discovery of a new vein it's extraction was deemed not financially viable and the mine closed in 1803.

Ogston Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

Ogston Reservoir was created by flooding the local valley in 1958. The flooding covered the village of Woolley as well as a pub, farmland and a section of the Ashover Light Railway.
The reservoir provides drinking water to the local area and is also used as a holding reservoir for Carsington Water.
Today it's managed as a water source and leisure ground. The footpaths around the reservoir are popular locally. The Ogston sailing club is known for starting off Ellen MacArthur and it's also a popular trout fishing lake.
