Reservoir dog walk and wheelchair accessible, Derbyshire
PremiumDescription
Calming waterside atmosphere that's particularly good for dogs plus small kids. It's on-lead only for canines, but still a handy place to know about. Not far from the A50.

Great Walk - weather & trail choice depending!
We went when it was warm & dry, so really thoroughly had a good time! There are so many trails to choose from. Dogs should be on leads, but there were a handful who had theirs offlead - however respectfully put them on the lead when passing (thought worth a mention for our reactive doggos out there). The place is busy during holidays & massive that you can still enjoy a private walk. I've included a picture of the trail I did, there aren't many bins so please keep that in mind when your has number 2, as you'll be carrying it a while! There are some horses but the no horse zones are clearly marked on the trail posts. The route I took isn't going to be wheelchair / mobility friendly, but there are lots of routes you can take & still enjoy the fabulous views.
Dogs aren't allowed in the water & it is fenced off for the most part, but there were a few entrances & we saw some people in there at one point. But the water entrances are relatively off the path so if you're adhering to the lead rules.. this shouldn't be a problem.
The parking was a bit of a faff if you don't have a national trust membership or the paybyphone app already. It wouldn't allow me to register with the app or online so I had to call the number- and that was painful!! So bring cash or download the app in advance.
Overall, a lovely place and even on a morning (friday), during the summer holidays, it was really an enjoyable day!
