Bards' POV
Rainfall Required
After the long hot summer of 2018, the weather has taken its toll on the water levels at Ladybower, Derwent and Howden. This photo was taken late September and the levels dropped some more since then, revealing the remains of Ashopton and Derwent villages. I've not had chance to go and see the remains of the villages yet, but I hope to visit at some point.
The lines of pillars on the left of the photo are remains of an old railway used for transporting stone up the valley for construction of the dam walls.
