Can't remember. I don't think so, but if you're driving the road to Kingtrees it might be wise not to take anything too high or too big as its a narrow, windy, tree lined road with little turning space at the end.

I would have to say no, as there are numerous notices saying no swimming.

I’m not sure which review you’ve read, my last Ladybower review doesn’t mention the Dam busters, but my Derwent review does, I’m well aware of the history, and both Howden & Derwent were used, but for future reference, the construction of Lady Bower began in 1935 being completed in 1943, it was finally filled by 1945, so I’m pretty sure that it was overflown by the aircraft of Operation Chastice.

Heatherdene car park has toilets. They were open today. Very clean.

Haven’t ventured out there since lockdown staying local ...but you can look on the Peak District website should tell you all you need to know.

Yes it is.

Hi,Just seen your post if you turn left at the ladybower inn towards Bamford ...you can park on the lay-by at the side of the reservoir and walk across the the dam to the plug hole ...don’t forget to visit the Strines inn and see the peacocks.
