Welcome to Ogston Reservoir

Ogston Reservoir is a large body of water located in Derbyshire, England. It was created in the 1950s by damming the River Amber and is now a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts. The reservoir covers an area of 200 acres and has a maximum depth of 60 feet. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a variety of wildlife, including birds, fish, and mammals.

The reservoir is a popular spot for fishing, with anglers coming from all over the country to try their luck. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish, including rainbow trout, brown trout, and pike. There are also several fishing platforms around the lake, making it accessible for all levels of anglers. In addition to fishing, the reservoir is also a popular spot for sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking. There is a sailing club located on the lake, and visitors can rent equipment from the club or bring their own.

The surrounding area of Ogston Reservoir is also worth exploring. There are several walking trails that offer stunning views of the lake and the surrounding countryside. The area is also home to several historic sites, including the ruins of Wingfield Manor and the nearby village of Ashover, which has a rich history dating back to the 12th century. Overall, Ogston Reservoir is a beautiful and peaceful destination that offers something for everyone, whether you're an angler, a sailor, or just looking for a relaxing day out in nature.
