Video Description

Secrets of the Derwent Valley Reservoirs - The Ashop Diversion Tunnel Deep in the remote uplands of the Peak District lies a remarkable feat of early 20th-century engineering: the Ashop Diversion. In this video we uncover how the waters of the River Ashop were diverted through tunnels, aqueducts and siphons to bolster the water supply for the region — reshaping the landscape in the process. What the landscape looks like today: parts of the structures remain visible, the valley remains wild and remote, and the story is one of “hidden infrastructure” under the moors and hills of Derbyshire. Join me as i follow the route of the Ashop Diversion from the catchment dam to the end location of Derwent Reservoir.
