Derwent Reservoir to Lost Lad & Back Tor

This walk provides stunning views over the Ladybower & Howden resevior then heading upto Lost Lad, Back Tor, Cakes of Bread & Salt Cellar, before dropping back down to the resevior.

The route is failry easy to follow and much quieter on the tops. The bottom paths can get very busy in the summer.

Parking is best in the free layby just before teh main Fairholmes car park which is chargeable.

On the return through Fairholmes the cafe is open most days for an ice cream or on a colder day a hot drink (worth checking opening times in the quieter months).
