Are The Plugholes of Ladybower Reservoir Overflowing already in 2023?
Join me as i revisit Ladybower Reservoir in the Peak District to see if my prediction of the Ladybower Plugholes overflowing by mid January 2023 was correct or incorrect.
We also revisit a few locations to see how much difference the high water makes to the surrounding areas compared to when water is very low.
We also visit Derwent Dam to see the water thundering over the Dam wall.

I don't know what it is about your videos but I have to admit to sitting almost breathless as I watch them,. The music, those parts of the video which play in silence other than the natural sounds of water flowing, your photography and drone footage - unbelievable. Thank-you again for giving this to us.
Thank you very much for your kind words. That's very nice of you. I'm pleased you enjoyed them
I started watching a little while back and loved the Nottingham videos and now I'm venturing out. These videos are quite epic.
I love them all so far.
Great music pal!
Thanks very much for watching Howard
What a journey this series has been for you, thank you for taking us all along with you. Its like a living history lesson. You know this wouldn't look out of place on Nat Geo. I feel sad that those once beautiful villages have gone back to their deep dark place, but happy to see these dams doing what they were built for. I feel exhilarated by the thundering wall of water and the atmospheric music. Well done Ant and thank you.
Can i just thank you for your excellent video's especially The Ladybower ones. I used to live and work in Bamford around the corner and down the main road where the old Marquis Of Granby Hotel was, i worked there (and lived in) for a short period of time and it's the place I met my first Wife, a lass from down the road in Hathersage. Sadly we divorced after only a few years and i went back to Sheffield to live. Your video's have taken me back in time to those days in 1977, i used to frequent a few of the pubs back then, The Anglers Rest, the ones in Hathersage and we used to walk and enjoy the company of our friends around the reservoir too. Thanks for bringing on back my good times, i was only 18 then, I'm now 64 and live in Skegness with my Wife of 34 years..... So sadly without your videos we'd never be able to go to this lovely part of Derbyshire. Keep up the good work, i have subscribed to your group and i look forward to many more of your jaunts around Ladybower and surrounding areas.... thanks my friend :)
When i see the old photos of Derwent village i see an idyllic beautiful village and what a shame it's all gone, another great interesting video 👏👏
I absolutely agree. Thanks very much for watching 🙂
It’s very wet and windy tonight.Such fantastic cinematography to take my mind off the world.
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you 🙂🙂
I find the old gate at 3:21 really interesting, just think of all the people from years that passed by or through the gate --- If we could only hear some of their stories. The water flowing over the top of the dam really shows the power of water and gravity. Great story, great narration and great music.
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better you start the year off with a belter👍👍👍👍 Keep coming back please, there seems to be a lot more hidden in the undergrowth?? Stunning drone footage over the plughole and the sight and sound of the water overflowing. Your first of the year vids are always memorable. Sitting here waiting!!!!
Thanks very much Bob. There's still more to do... That tunnel definitely needs more attention 😉
Thank you for the tour of the Ladybower Reservoir today. Breathtaking views and scenery. Also, thank you for the visual sights of the memorial along side the roadway. Exciting to see this tour. Unfortunately I will never get to see it in person, because of my handicapped condition. But will always be appreciated for your extraordinary tours that you take the viewers on. Your the best, Antony! And will always be in debt to you for efforts on this, and other tours. God bless you. Cheers mate! ❤😊
Thanks very much Martin. So pleased you have enjoying it 🙂🙂🙂
Pretty sure the path from the derwent dam visitor centre car park to the dam is flat mate the noise is unbelievable
You've absolutely nailed it with this series of videos, really enjoyed each and every one. Excellent work!
Thank you very much, so kind 🙂🙂
Before and afters are always a treat.
Thank you for watching 🙂
And the overlays were right on mark.
This is by a long way the best channel on here . Thank you Ant
Thank you Terry for your kind words. That means a lot 🙂
Thank you Ant, that was amazing. I am sure I sat here with my mouth open. Stunning photography. Take care.
I'm amazed how quickly the reservoir has filled up. Great old photos and really good video pictures. I never get bored with the Ladybower/Derwent/Howden reservoirs.
It's amazing isn't it? Up 60% in just 6 weeks. Thank you for watching 🙂🙂
Crikey, the last vid of yours I caught you could almost walk across the whole reservoir , now I see this!!! Brilliant vid series mate, thankyou so much
Thank you very much Andrew. It's certainly an amazing sight
You need Mr Martin Zero Crawling in tunnels special ist to walk thru tunnel and see where it goes ? He loves disappearing down holes and gullies...
Excellent Video..
It's something I'm working on.... Once I've confirmed the other portal location 😉
I didn't think it would refill this year. Actually brought a grin to my face. Thank you.
It's crazy how quickly it happened 🙂
A great video to start 2023, who would have thought the plug holes would be flowing so soon after the drought.
Thanks very much for watching Peter 🙂
Wow ! What a journey you have taken us all on through the seasons of 2022 Ant. A year in the life or.....all the uncovered past history, the villages, the civil engineering , the natural beauty, nature's natural healing and recovery all unfolded through your camera and drone lens with some brilliant narration. A first class years production and content - a real credit to you Ant, many thanks , really appreciate your efforts. Regards
Enchanting footage very skillfully put together a welcome relief stepping back to more modest and pleasant times from the manic world of today...thank you.
That must have been an amazing experience for you to be there to see all that water gushing over. What a way to start the year. Thank you. Very enjoyable.
It was absolutely stunning. It apparently only started going over the day before
What an awesome site the water flowing over tha dam wall was.
Thanks very much for watching Harry
Terrific work Ant. This has been a fascinating series, full of interesting history. Thank you for the work you've put in to bring it to us. Really appreciated!
Thank you very much Stephen 🙂
That was an amazing video, coupled with your earlier ones as a comparison from empty to full, great job! Those plug holes are scary and look so powerful when overflowing and such a waste of energy and considering the scale of the whole thing a few months ago when the water level was so low it’s an awesome sight to see. Thanks 🙌
Your phrase "waste of energy" reminds me of the hydro power facility inside a Welsh mountain. Imagine if we could harness the power of the water flow down the plughole or over the dam.
We have the engineering skills, we just need imagination and courage from the government
@Neil070 I was thinking of the hydro generators as well but then thought these plug holes probably don’t overflow often enough to justify the trouble and expense, hence it’s wasted
@@iancooper2338 Probably true 🤔
Severn Trent Water do generate hydro electricity from the water being released from Ladybower.
@@richardbutcher7891 Thank you, good to know
I lived in North Sheffield 20 minutes drive from this spot for a few years and it is amazing to see how quickly the water levels can be resotred to overflowing. 42 percent to 100 percent in 3 months is quite incredible. Thanks for the video. 👍
shame that all the energy of the overflowing water is wasted. Brilliant camera work, as always.
Yeah, my thought also, but bear in mind that volume of flow is transient. For the regular rate of flow, it just wouldn't be cost effective to try and capture it.
Another astonishing video brilliant can't wait for the next one excellent footage 👍👍
Thank you very much Brian. I think I'll be researching that tunnel next week now 👍
Will be looking forward to that. Can't believe how quickly the dams have filled in the time since your last post incredible
Thanks for the Update, what a travesty that 2 villages were lost, families loving homes/ communities gone! On the flip side amazes me how they flood it!
Thanks very much for watching. I agree it's all very sad but amazing at the same time 🙂
@@TrekkingExploration the plug holes were hypnotic! 😵💫
Oh wow that was so awesome. Just love that running water. I listen to waterfalls to get to sleep. Just really loved that thanks Ant. Thanks for taking me along. Please take care
Glad you enjoyed it Linda. Thanks very much as always 🙂🙂
☺️☺️☺️
Incredible video. Absolutely outstanding series. Quite moving to watch and listen with music and your contagious enthusiasm. Wow Ant a masterpiece . Thank you.
Thank you very much Shirley. I'm pleased I can find a reason to occasionally return 🙂
Great to see the Ladybower again :)
Thank you for watching 🙂🙂
Criminal about Derwent Hall being demolished, what a beautiful country house. Wonder if anybody is aluve today who actually went there or even lived there.
I have walked the Ladybower area many times so it’s nice to know the history of the place. I find your videos interesting, atmospheric and well presented. I don’t know what you do as a profession but your videos are as good as ones seen on TV of a similar nature. I begin watching so many videos on RUclips then switch off because of poor content, but yours I just have to watch until the end.
Fantastic video Ant and I can hardly wait for your tunnel video.
Thanks so very much 🙂🙂
Another fantastically produced video. I enjoy watching them so much.
Thankyou vety much Richard :)
Absolutely stunning photography, Ant'. It's been such an interesting and informative series. All the best to you both for 2023
Hi Ant, amazing first new video of 2023. It's nice to see the journey from empty to full. Thankyou so much for all the effort and quality you put in to show us our superb country.
Love your videos and the history of the place. Look forward to more videos and keep up the good work
Thank you very much David 🙂🙂
Another excellent vid Ant , having seen all the others you shot over the months is amazing to see it full again now .
Another great video, what a different a couple of months make.
Thanks for capturing the ongoing changes here
Great vid! I'm astonished how quickly ladybower has filled up. I went there on the 29th Dec and the water was still pretty low, you could see the whole of the plughole still. I also looked for the rail after seeing your last video a couple of months back. Found the rail and was still able to walk quite some way down to the waters edge. Amazing!
Unbelievable the difference a couple of months has made, might have a run out tomorrow and see the plug holes in action. Thanks for the video!!
Another great video. Really enjoyed this series.
What a really nice thoughtful production. Greatly enjoyed. You take good time with your shots and the editing and dissolves between October and January is masterly. Good music choices, too, and sensitively handled with the fades for voice over in just the right places. Great stuff.
I never get tired of Ladybower Reservoir videos that you have done. Thanks for the update. Spectacular footage as usual.
Thank you very much Cathy. I'm sure I can find more reasons to return 😉
Thank you Ant. 65 years ago as a boy I remember watching the plugholes and hearing the Derwent Roar and wondering if anything remained of the village down below because surely the reservoirs would never drain ...... Well now we know just like when the old Ogston reservoir was drained for essential maintenance and we could see the bridges eff of the old village. I live abroad now and I absolutely love the old memories. I wish I could join you but the vids would be about 3 days long at my place these days.
Awesome videos its fantastic to see images of then and now with excellent drone footage as well. It was such a shame tho to loose Derwent House , what a fantastic building
Absolutely loved this series on Ladybower. My wife and I were there the end of July 22 and the water level was really low. We explored the lost village as much as we could and found broken pottery. Thank you for a great video of Ladybower full and overflowing again👍
Thank you very much for a wonderful video. Like you say, we have had a lot of rain.
It is nice to hear the water just plunging down the plughole.
Thanks very much Roy. I was lucky to get there the day after it started overflowing again 🙂
Great video to watch and see the change in water level over a few months. Lovely footage of the water spilling over the dam wall and dropping down the spillway. Great way to start 2023 explorations. Keep up the good work 👍
Been up there today Ant
Super full and spectacular in view
Keep the vids coming mate👍👍😍
Another great video Ant Great to see this when the water is at high level and to see the vast contrast from the previous videos!
My Norfolk Suggestions as you mentioned you will be going back are:
1. Bengate towards Stalham Disused Railway Line. Honing Station is a must see!
2. Covehithe Church Ruins and Beach it's stunning there.
3. Swaffham Disused Line well worth a visit for somewhere in a town it feels incredibly remote and forgotten. There's a few Bridges (one is really remote at the end) and a surviving signal! Access off of the end of Turbine Way, really easy access just off of the A47.
4. Pingo Trail following part of disused Watton to Thetford line. theres a ruined gatehouse on route and scenery is also stunning (Pingos are ancient ponds) it's also borders the Stanta (Stanford) the military training zone in places. Here there are some abandoned villages the MOD took up during the 40s. I believe you can or could do tours by writing to the MOD but I guess even if you could get on the odds of you being allowed to take any footage is probably very small.
5. Wolferton Station which you can access at certain times of the day so check their website. Lot of Royal history being closest to Sandringham it's well preservered, looks amazing as is the countryside you might be able to walk some of the line nearby to.
Thanks for all the continued content. Mark.
.
Fabulous video once again. You work really hard to give us a feel for the lost history of that area. Thank you.
Thanks Malcolm. Very kind 🙂
Brilliant well worth the wait before and after 👌
Thanks very much 🙂🙂
Lovely video, and a superb sight to behold the dams full to overflowing. Takes me right back when we were out in this part of Derbyshire every weekend when I was a kid, standing at the wall watching and listening to that roar as water flowed down the plughole. The difference in just a few weeks is astonishing. Loved seeing the old photos too. Derwent Hall was beautiful.
I'd forgotten how loud Derwent Dam was it absolutely caught me by surprise ❤️
Thanks for awesome content, drone shots and music all put together very well. Keep it up. Been up to Ladybower a few times, always found those plug holes interesting. Would not be surprised if your subs go up considerably this year and based on this content it will be well deserved.
Amazing series loved all your precise videos hard to image from the Derwent village and Ashopton videos in October showing specific areas .Just how very quickly the waters have covered up everything once again . I am sure you will be back one day filming Slippery stones that beautiful pack horse Bridge and those missed Derwent Hall Stone Entrance Pillars at Bamford . Thank You So much .
Brilliant start to 2023,Ant,how powerful was that water coming over the Dam,loved the drone work,its all so beautiful,I noticed the lovely red trees in the background as the drone made its way over ladybower.never get fed up of watching ,keep up the good work,& stay safe,😀❤️ x
Thanks very much. I'm sure there's more to do around here. Well I know there is 😉
Excellent video - as always. Thanks.
And to think that there are still some hosepipe bans in place around the UK.
We just hope the canals will all be full and open for Easter when we begin our long trips.
Many thanks again for a very informative video. Your enthusiasm is infectious.
Thanks so very much Roy 🙂
Thanks for doing this one Ant.
Amazing comparison.
Spectacular overflow of Derwent Dam.
Brilliantly updated and extremely interesting.Great stuff.Keep up the excellent work.
Thanks so much Michael 🙂
Excellent compilation, filming and narrative. Thank you!
Thank you very much David 🙂🙂
Thanks for another great video, great views, informative and well presented, looking forward to seeing the next one .
Thanks so very much for watching 🙂
What a great video well put together have subscribed. I'm looking forward to seeing more video's well done keep up the good work
Thanks very much Michael. Very kind :)
Great work thanks for keeping us updated. Looking forward to more interesting journeys in 23.
Thanks so very much :)
I have been watching your videos for a few years now and have to say the overall quality has just got better and better. Your content and the music you choose go perfectly together and really set the scene for what is to come. Thanks for all the work you put in. Having walked many of those paths years ago not realising that I had missed so many things, mind you we are talking 30 years ago and footpaths have been created since and access increased to certain areas. Great videos and photography. Keep walking out there.
Hey Lavinia thankyou so much for this lovely comment. I'm so pleased you have been enjoying them for a while now and that you feel they are getting better too :)
Yes, beautiful to see the before and after shots and how Full, it’s all is now
Goodness me, the hair on the back of my neck was stood on end all through the video! I have a real fear of dams or deep water. It was great in the summer when it wasn't full and I loved watching your exploration of the old village. But when you stood near the plug hole, or walked beneath the dam in full flow, I was having palpitations, feeling hot and cold at the same time. However, it was a double-edged sword though because I absolutely loved the video. Thanks Ant (for bring braver than I ever could be!) 😁
That plug hole frightened me as a child. My dad was there when they flooded the village he told us stories of the village past. Also took us when the church spire could be seen. Very surreal. Now in my 60s I still fear that plughole. Great show.
Brilliant start to the new year. Brilliant series. What more can I say?
Wonderful video, Ant ❤️👌🏼
Thank you Frank 🙂🙂
Well done Ant, an excellent series of programmes, very interesting. Many thanks for such quality productions.
Thanks very much for your kind words :)
Amazing video. As a dam designer I just love watching videos of dams, especially with spillways operating. A flowing “plug hole “ spillways is very rare but beautiful. Thanks.
Thank you very much for watching John. I'll hopefully get inside a dam one day 🙂🙂
That wall of overflow looks epic. I tried searching for pictures of it and they haven't captured an image looking as impressive as you made it look in this video.
Amazing footage as usual,your videos just get better & better.
Thanks for taking us on your adventures & days out exploring.
Do you know why the vicarage was demolished?Like you noted it would have made a great holiday let,youth hostel.tearooms or visitor centre.
Cheers Ant.
Brilliantly put together .. Thank you I really enjoyed that and it was so peaceful : )
Glad you enjoyed it and thank you 🙂
Thank you for your hard work and months spent on bringing this to out attention. best regards a follower of you posts.
Thank you very much Hayden 🙂
That, Ant, was a fantastic video. Th plugholes are something else...such force! Cheers, Bob
Marvellous video and commentary - really impressive stuff. Thank you for putting this together for us all to watch. I’m due to visit the reservoir for the first time this year too.
Thank you very much Andrew. You'll love it there if you have never been 👍
That was ace. Now I found you I can binge watch the rest. Plenty of reservoirs in Leicestershire were I live. Cropston, Swithland, Blackbrook. Swithland is lovely with a long winding drive to the pump house and steam trains crossing close by in the summer. Used to have huge gardens which appear to be a run down state these days.
Awesome video! I remembered the empty one you did, & now look at er filled up! Thanks bud! 👍😃
As a Derbyshire lad its great to see Ladybower full again and most of our other dams are pretty much full as well. Nature is an amazing lady.
Wow just wow smashed it with this video...not that the previous ones were,not amazing..but this one my favourite so far....thank u for bringing me the chance to see what beautiful places we have to appreciate
Thanks very much for watching and your kind words too 🙂🙂
Thanks again for a fantastic video, who would have thought the big change in a matter of months. Keep it up you do a really good job.
Thank you very much William. Much appreciated 🙂
Amazing - i was there in Movember and water levels so very low…. Its lovely to see it full and overflowing 🤗
Hi there, I stumbled upon your video and it’s fantastic! Wow!! Your filming is incredible!! The music you chose actually brought me to tears😢! Thank you for an enormously well done film. I’m subscribing straight away and will pass it on…you are very talented, the mix of old film and the non speaking parts perfectly timed. I learnt a whole lot, and can’t tell you enough “Thank you, for all your hard work and for your enthusiasm, it really comes across on camera.” 😘 Just BRILLIANT!
Thankyou so much for your most amazingly kind comment. Thank you Thank you :) x
What a spectacular sight the dam and the plugholes are! An excellent video Ant.👍
Glad you enjoyed it & thank you so much :)
Fascinating series, already planning a visit to the area with our bikes on the back of the car.
Thanks Ant👍👍
Thanks Adam I hope you visit soon
Well done Ant. You showed us a teaser and then delivered another wonderful update in the Ladybower series. Thanks for this and I'm sure that I'm not alone in really enjoying your enthusiasm for what you are doing. Cheers
Been here today for the first time. Breathtaking. This country truly has some amazing history and both these dams where stunning.
Amazing video! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for watching Andrea 🙂
All I can say is wow as usual a lovely view of what was once a village back in the day thanks x
Amazing recovery for the lake. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for watching Chris 🙂
Absolutely loved these vids. I am lucky enough to live in Sheffield and have all these places on my door step. Ladybower, Howden, Dam Flask, Redmires and many more. We up here really do supply the country with our thirst. It is not just their practical features. Their aesthetic beauty is something of a masterpiece of engineering with beauty.
That was really cool to see especially the before and after well done
Thank you very much Phillip 🙂
It’s mesmerising when the plug holes are overflowing there. Love a good long walk around Ladybower with the dog x
It really is. Hopefully it'll be like this for a few months. I found the other one at Redmires this week too 🙂 Thank you for watching
Love these programs,better than anything on TV!😀
Thank you very much Roger 🙂
Epic video, inspirational. Amazing over a few months that its in full flow. I especially like the dam reveal at the end.
Thanks very much Andrew. That means a lot :)
Fantastic content, great editing. Best wishes from Chicago USA
Glad you enjoyed it thank you. Funnily enough I'm off there right now
