Notes	A large reservoir in the Upper Derwent Valley, within the Dark Peak area of the Derbyshire Peak District National Park. Constructed between 1935 and 1943 and filled by 1945, its creation resulted in the flooding of the villages of Ashopton and Derwent. Ladybower is the southernmost of the three Upper Derwent reservoirs, downstream of Derwent and Howden reservoirs and their dams. Distinctive features include its bell-mouth overflows and the Ashopton and Ladybower viaducts.
