Ladybower Reservoir, Peak District National Park

            Serving the city of Sheffield with its water supply, Ladybower is probably the most well known of the Peak District reservoirs in the UK. It was used as the location of the 1955 classic The Dam Busters, telling the story of Dr. Barnes Wallis and his team as they tested the bouncing bomb and successfully destroyed several dams in 1943 Nazi Germany.

Construction of the dam at Ladybower began in 1935 and was completed in 1943; the following 2 years saw the flooding of the villages of Derwent and Ashopton to fill the reservoir.

This view looks over Ladybower from Bamford Edge. You can see the dam at the near end of the reservoir, and Ashopton Viaduct is visible in the distance.
