A very good place for walking and for birdwatching... 🏃‍♂️ Staunton Harold Reservoir is a large reservoir under the management of Severn Trent Water, located between Melbourne and Ticknall in South Derbyshire. Most of the water is within Derbyshire but a small part of the southern shore is over the border in Leicestershire... 🏞️ The reservoir was built in 1964 at the behest of the River Dove Water Board, meant to serve Leicester and the towns of northern Leicestershire. Although no villages were lost in the construction of the reservoir, Furnace Farm, New England Farm and Calke Mill were submerged; their remains lie 25 metres below the surface. 🖼️ The dam wall is a clay core construction, similar to the dam wall at Ladybower Reservoir...

Disappointed that the reservoir carpark wasn't a national trust one, but parking fee is reasonable for a long stay. Some good little trails and a good long walk that goes around the water to Calke Abbey. Give yourself a good while to get there and back as it will take a good few hours. Nice park for kids with toilets and ice cream on hand.
