![Ladybower Reservoir 📍[S33 0BY]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Derwent Dam and one of the bellmouth overflows (plughole) on a beautiful sunny day in the Peak District. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In the distance, if you look to the right you can see two little peaks, this is Bamford Edge. Bamford Edge offers stunning arial views of the reservoir (this does require off-track climbing). We visited Bamford Edge just before heading to the reservoir and i'd say doing the two make for a perfect day out! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Parking is available (for a charge) at Heatherdene. As far as i'm aware this is the nearest car park and is within perfect walking distance to the edge of the reservoir and across the dam.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

![Holkham Hall 📍[NR23 1AB]
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On our visit to Norfolk we saw a poster advertising 'Feast in the Park' at Holkham Hall which instantly screamed everything we love and more. With a quick Google and an instant agreement we slotted it into our busy schedule and this spontaneous decision turned out to be the best afternoon. Full of eating street food, drinking coffee, listening to live jazz to walking and watching hundreds of deer run freely around the grounds of this gorgeous stately home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I believe 'Feast in the Park' is an exclusive event to Summer (open weekends throughout July, August and September), should you find yourself along the North Norfolk Coast next Summer, check to see if the event is on! All of the staff at @holkhamestate were super friendly and clearly loved their job and their COVID-19 measures were spot on, we felt entirely safe the whole time.

![Croxden Abbey 📍[ST14 5JF]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Step back in time visiting this 12th Century heritage site, it's a fantastic FREE beauty spot for ruin lovers. Rich in history, the remains of former Cistercian monastery stand tall with modernised mapping to help visitors visualise how the Abbey once looked. Located just outside of the Peak District in Staffordshire, these Abbey ruins are a fantastic stop-off point for a quick visit (it would take no more than 1 hour to take in all the sights and information).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

![Foremark Reservoir 📍 [DE65 6EG]⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As a landlocked Midlander, you find the simplest pleasures in finding hidden gems like this. This is the closest I've found to a make-shift beach in the 21 years I've lived in Derbyshire. Thankfully it offsets the itch to drive 2 and a half hours to the beach on a beautiful sunny day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Foremark Reservoir offers the perfect mix of beach and greenery with huge open spaces, plus £3 all day parking. Bring the whole family along have a picnic, play some games and head down to the sandy area for a little play and paddle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
