The 7 Kilometer Rivelin Tunnel below Stanage Edge from Ladybower Reservoir
Join me as i embark on a beautiful walk through the Peak District tracing the 124 year old tunnel that travels deep below ground from Ladybower Reservoir through to Rivelin Reservoirs near Sheffield.
There is plenty to be seen as we begin our journey at Heatherdene beside Ladybower. Heading up over the hills and moorland. Can we find any trace of the tunnel abobve ground as we skirt owards Stanage Edge? What History remains?

I love these videos Ant. Spent loads of time up the Peaks. Tent, 4 kids, dog, husband, cheap rent in a farmers field. Perfect. I'll never get to explore it all in my lifetime, too vast an expanse. I'll sit at home, in the warm and watch you instead xx

Coincidentally today I was tracing the route of the gravity-fed Derwent Aquaduct (shown on your first map) which runs from Derwent Dam all the way to Watnall, Notts via Ambergate, Ripley, Langley Mill and Eastwood. It actually runs under my street, Cliff Boulevard in Kimberley. I knew the Derwent dams supplied Notts but never knew exactly how, Lots of stone built valve houses, manhole covers and old infrastructure along the way. That would be a good project for you! If you need any more info I have been researching it. The aquaduct akso has a pipe that goes to Derby and Leicester!

Excellent work Ant. These walks/sploors are right up my brain pipe, as M'lady and I often did similar all over Cornwall. But I started early... Exploring the old railbeds of Pembrokeshire when I was a teen. There's always something about old industrial civil engineering/infrastructure that sends a spooky shiver down one's spine... Speaking of 'Spooky'... That 'Spooky House' was not really spooky to me... I'd give my eye teeth to move in and live there permanently - especially given that I am about to made homeless by heartless redevelopers and our corrupt council [sigh]

This reminded me of a week i spent on an outward bounds course in the early 80s based at Alport Castles Farm. Back then it was a Derbyshire Police outward bounds facility and we went from a big local firm who had an arrangement with them. Think the farm is private now. We climbed at Stanage edge but ive not been back since, maybe I should. The water on the film is so orange, obviously dyed with the peat from Kinder and the like. I wonder if the "white brick" might have been glazed bricks, maybe so the could check water clarity? The fact that idiots would not only take a bar b que into the peak but put it on a wooden bench shows the stupid mentality of some people. Great video as always and thank for stirring up some memories 😀 za

Local folk law says that on sunset on two days of the year the light (not the image) of the setting sun is seen at the Rivelin Portal. The area next to Redmires reservoir which you passed through was used for training in WW1 and the trench system of 'Hill 60' was constructed. Some where between the Stanage Edge marker and the 4th marker a large gas pipe runs south to north from the West end of Ringinglow road and can be seen on iphone maps set to satellite view. A second runs south to north just below the lower Rivelin reservoir wall but above the new covered reservoir.
