Win Hill & Ladybower Reservoir

Win Hill sits at the head of the Ladybower Reservoir allowing it views far and wide to the surrounding edges, plateaus, hills and reservoirs. From the top you can see many of the destinations featured in my blog such as Kinder Scout, The Great Ridge and Mam Tor, Winnats Pass, Stanage Edge and Derwent Edge.

Ladybower Reservoir is a large Y-shaped reservoir, the lowest of three in the Upper Derwent Valley in Derbyshire, England. The River Ashop flows into the reservoir from the west; the River Derwent flows south, initially through Howden Reservoir, then Derwent Reservoir, and finally through Ladybower Reservoir.

Dunbar coast & harbours

Due to its geographical location, Dunbar receives less rain and more hours of direct sunshine per year than anywhere else in Scotland (according to the Met Office). The town has begun to be referred to by locals as 'Sunny Dunny', after a local radio host popularised the term.
Dunbar has two promenades (forming part of the John Muir Way). These provide a viewpoint to see Dunbar's geological features ( including volcanic deposits and dykes) Looking down onto a raised shore platform, and the raised beaches.
