Derwent Reservoir is the middle of three reservoirs in the Upper Derwent Valley in the northeast of Derbyshire, England. It lies approximately 10 miles (16 km) from Glossop and 10 miles (16 km) from Sheffield. The River Derwent flows first through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir and finally through Ladybower Reservoir. Between them they provide practically all of Derbyshire's water, as well as to a large part of South Yorkshire and as far afield as Nottingham and Leicester.
Derwent Reservoir is around 1.5 miles (2.4 km) in length, running broadly north–south, with Howden Dam at the northern end and Derwent Dam at the south. A small island lies near the Howden Dam. The Abbey Brook flows into the reservoir from the east.
At its full capacity the reservoir covers an area of 70.8 hectares (175 acres) and at its deepest point is 34.7 metres (114 ft) deep.
The Derwent dam, the middle of a series of three, on the river Derwent in the Derbyshire Peak District. After all the recent rain the reservoir is full to overflowing. Derwent Dam 5

Derwent Dam
Completed in 1916 this neo-gothic dam holds back the Derwent reservoir, Derbeyshire. However, the reservoir is perhaps most famous for being the location that the RAF 617 Squadron - or The Dambusters - used to practice their techniques prior to using their bouncing bombs on the Ruhr dams of Germany.

View above Castleton, Derbyshire looking towards the North East. Those who know the area may recognise the Howden Reservoir and more famously, the Derwent Reservoir. Sadly it was rather misty so it wasn't the clearest of views and the Derwent Dam is covered by the smoke trail in the lower part of the image. Derwent Dam 42
