Ladybower Reservoir & the Strange Tunnel Deep Below Win Hill in the Peak District

[@grahamschofield4555]

The other tunnel entrance at castleton is on peakshole water and has a weird 12 sided pool for the tunnel weir.I visited it many years ago.Loving your videos i have spent most of my life walking those hills with only living 20 minutes drive away.Keep up the good work.

[@mikebartram6001]

Hi TE, great video, I measured the tunnel at around 2800 yds , 1.56 miles. from the ground topography the tunnel would not be straight but would run north east for a little way then turning east I would say after a couple of hundred yards likely at a manhole but could be a radius. I would also assume the first length would be cut and cover till it reached the bottom of Win Hill. I love the Victorian and later works, so interesting. FYI I was a Civil Engineer for 40 years before retiring, 25 years at British Waterways as it was, the majority of that time working on Canal Reservoirs, tunnels and Canal Feeders LOL, I may be one of the last Engineers to have surveyed and fixed the water supply to the Leeds & Liverpool Canal from Winterburn Reservoir near Skipton to the Canal near Barnoldswick (9.5 miles Circa 1890) and the Almond Feeder In Scotland, near Broxburn, which is tunnel and open channel on the side of a deep gorge. and several others.

[@TrekkingExploration]

Brilliant Mike thanks for some very interesting information and thank you for watching too. It certainly feels longer when walking the distance. The one from Castleton intrigues me. I've roughly located where it begins.... But where it used to discharge at ladybower I have no idea. I did wonder if it may intact intercept this particular tunnel

[@mikebartram6001]

@@TrekkingExploration I think it unlikely given the distance unless it goes into Ladybower closer to the dam, I will do further research and I would be happy to tag along if possible although not much good for long distance walking at the moment, have a look at Winterburn that would make a good film for you perhaps. Mike 👍

[@Kivetonandrew]

I've known about this tunnel from my childhood in the 1950s. As a family, we often went to the top of Win Hill and I remember hearing about Win Hill Tunnel. I never knew its exact route and thought it went to Castleton to take water from Peakshole Water. I later heard it took water from the River Noe. Now, thanks to your excellent video, my questions are finally answered. Great to see the views from the summit of Win Hill. It's many years since I was up there, don't think I'll ever go up there again now I've reach old age.

Amazing to solve this mystery. Love the photography too, so atmospheric. It's surprising the lengths our forefathers went to to provide good quality water. And all in the spirit of public service, unlike today. Being from Leicester, this was the water I drank until I left home as the reservoirs feed Leicestershire via a long aquaduct which I think ends at Swithland Reservoir in north Leicestershire.

[@LeonLShaw]

The aqueduct ends at Hallgates Reservoir in Bradgate Park.

[@grahambloodworth4770]

I found this, will try to find the map: Rivelin tunnel Construction of the tunnel began in 1903 and was completed in 1909. It was built to use the plentiful supplies of the River Derwent as compensation water for the River Rivelin rather than draining the more valuable waters of Redmires Reservoirs. The tunnel is 4.5miles long, 6feet high and 6feet wide, it has a fall towards Rivelin of 1 in 3,600 which is 6 ft 7in (2.0m) over its entire length. The tunnel takes water which has come through a drain hole in the south east corner of Ladybower Reservoir and delivers it into the Lower Rivelin Reservoir with the tunnel emerging into a grass covered underground tank on the south bank at a point next to where the Wyming Brook enters the Lower reservoir. The tunnel cost £135,151, which was £13,000 under budget.[4] A series of sighting towers was constructed to aid in the survey of the tunnel. The collapsed remains of one tower can be found on Stanage Edge. An extant tower stands by the footpath adjacent to Redmires Upper Reservoir conduit. An electric railway ran through Rivelin Tunnel when it was under construction.www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?action=zoom&keywords=Ref_No_increment;MATCHES;(%5E%7C%20+)s09547(%24%7C%20+)&continueUrl=ZnJvbnRlbmQucGhwPyZrZXl3b3Jkcz1hbGwlM0JNQVRDSEVTJTNCJTI4JTVFJTdDKyUyQiUyOXMwOTU0NyUyOCUyNCU3QyslMkIlMjkmYWN0aW9uPXNlYXJjaCZvcGVyYXRpb249QU5E[5]

[@LeonLShaw]

This is not strictly accurate as the tunnel is nothing to do with compensation water. When the Derwent dams were constructed, the partners in the scheme were the cities of Derby Leicester and Nottingham with agreement being made for Sheffield to have a supply of ten million gallons per day. The Rivelin tunnel takes the water over to the Rivelin reservoirs whereby it was then part of the supply to the city of Sheffield.

[@dukeofengland]

This was a great video, fantastic views and an interesting little puzzle solved, well done 👍

[@fillius169]

Hi, I believe that the tunnel is not used at the moment for diverting water due to excessive silt build up just upstream of the River Noe abstraction weir. The weir was designed with flushing penstocks in it to allow the silt to be flushed through but it was causing major ecological/pollution issues downstream and has stopped being carried out hence the silt build up and it causing a problem with the abstraction. I do believe that there are plans to try and take it back into use as it is impacting on the generation of hydro-electricity at Ladybower. From what you have shown it is absolutely correct that the tunnel flows parallel to the river Noe where the abstraction begins. I understand that it goes underneath another abstraction point at Jaggers Clough before continuing on to Ladybower. 👍

[@DeneF]

I do know in the last few years it has had a massive clean out because it was just a mess of silt and rubbish.

[@markmunro8753]

Thanks man. That water could generate some green energy. I ran a hydro electric power station for nine years.😊

[@746laurie]

I live on the Transilvanian Plateau in central Romania and my house is 384m above mean sea level yet it lies in a valley, one side of which rises another 80m through the forest at the end of my garden area. The 1000m² plot my house is built on includes an orchard on a 45° slope leading up to a little used footpath across the ridge to a village around 6kms away. It's a beautiful area which I tell people is like Scotland but without the rain and midges! Around 50kms due south are the Făgăraș Mountains, part of the Carpathians, and the highest mountains in the country. The two highest peaks being Moldoveanu (2544m) and Negoiu (2535m). The Peak District are just a few bumps in landscape in comparison! Actually I love the Peak District and spent a week touring with my campervan in 2003.

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

Another great video, Ant. Not only do you randomly find one end, but you are able to solve the mystery. They must open that sluice gate every now and then, or there would be a buildup of stagnant water. It would be great to find the date and be there for it. I bet your friendly local will know how often a year it happens. One question. Under what conditions would they open it? The Ladybower was very low previously. It wasn't open, then was it Ant? I love the presentation, the research, the oratory, the videography, and the drone footage. All top notch. You picked the same route I did up Win Hill. It wasn't until I was up therevi found out that a Bridle Path zigzags 3/4 of the way up. Looking forward to you tracking do2n the Castleton Sluice Gates and tunnel.

[@suzyqualcast6269]

Howsabout when Lady b was stuffed to overflowing as in recently, they opened the wotsit and Matlock - Stan Fearns, Ashmore, etc, got stuffed/sludged again, leading to the current main town bridge resulting in main road closing to restrengthen the Hall Leys Park side, before being weshed away, and a this current rework DESPITE all the anti flooding construction a few short years ago down at Matlock Green to avert reflooding of Hall Keys Park, Causeway Lane..... 💦

[@DeneF]

From speaking with the chap from the water company I am taking a guess at this and nothing more. If LadyB is low then maybe they couldn't let any out from NetherB because likely it would be low too as they would both be suffering the same local climate conditions and I do know that they have to dhere to a very strict level of the river. That's even if it's actually used at all any more? I do live local but believe or not even the oldest farmers and locals only have scant memory and passed around stories of the dam and it's inception. I do have a poorish photo of a framed photo of its inauguration day but there's not great detail really. I have passed it on to Ant. Be well.

I remember the construction of the installation at Castleton. This was approx 1958 - 62. My dad had a second job driving a minibus for a local coach proprietor and he used to take some of the workers to and from their shifts. I remember that they were tunnelling under Win Hill so perhaps they were upgrading the existing tunnel or building a second one. The construction and architectural style of the installation at Castleton are quite different from what is shown here, reinforced concrete, also the water was pumped so it is not surprising that they've discontinued it.

I remember Win Hill before they logged it - I used to spend a lot of time in the area back then, and Win Hill was horrendously difficult to traverse up through the wood, it was like fighting your way though the jungle. Shame they didn't take out all the pine to give some native species room to grow. I've not got back much since that time, but I'm planning to start back in that direction in the next few years. Amazing views with the fog by the way. You can actually see the course it follows all the way to the railway on the satellite imagery, not sure if you noticed by the way - takes a turn to the right about 350 meters in then hits the railway just under 900 meters later where it is almost directly on course for the outlet at Ladybower.

I found an interesting document written by the "Wild Trout Trust" about an advisory visit to the river Noe Nether Booth Dam area. This document reported that the down stream river flow was not great enough from the 1950s to prevent the river silting up when the extraction was operating at a high capacity. It also noted that since the early 2000s the D.O.E. environment improvement policies have reduces the amount of water they allow to be extracted only to times of very high flow rates. This has apparantly allowed an improvment in the ecology of the river Noe down strean to occur. Presumably this is good for the trout fishery!
