Derwent and Howden Circlular
Places remaining: 23
Route Description
Derwent and Howden Dams circular walk from Fairholmes.
From Fairholmes Car Park we walk up a short incline to the top of the Derwent Dam wall where the Dambusters museum is.
We then take the winding path / road along the side of Derwent reservoir to the Howden Dam overflow and again along the winding road to the Kings Tree roundabout. We then take the track through the woods to Slippery Stones where we can take lunch.
After lunch we then thanked the track back down the opposite side of Howden dam and then the opposite side of Derwent Dam and back down to Fairholmes car park.
