Overview

Explore with us the beautiful countryside around Brackenfield and Ogston Reservoir. We start from the Village Hall in Brackenfield and the route takes us via the path on Highoredish, one of the three Ashover Heathlands owned by Derbyshire County Council. Spectacular views of Ogston Reservoir and the Amber Valley are to be enjoyed in good weather! We continue to Ogston reservoir itself.
