Lost villages

 A Peak & Northern Footpath Society sign near Edale.
It still points the way to the villages of Ashopton and Derwent, seventy years after they were abandoned and flooded. Both communities were submerged in the waters of the Ladybower reservoir.

The village of Ashopton, dwarfed by the viaduct being built to carry the A57 road over Ladybower.

Derwent village.
