| Fairholms is the large, and busy, car park at the end of Ladybower Reservoir. It lies under Derwent Dam and hence popular. On a busy day get there early. Alternative parking can be found down the road but this adds to the walking. Parking is not free at Fairholms nor at some of the smaller parking spaces up the road. | |

The Howden Moors are on the east of Derwent Reservoir. Once on the top these moors are extensive areas of "flat" moorland with views, on a good day, in all directions. This is a quiet area of the Peak District and on many days the walker will not see anyone until they get to the popular area of Back Tor and Lost Lad.
