Howden Reservoir is the third expanse of water as one travels northwards up the Derwent Valley. Howden was the first of the three to be built, work began in July 1901 and was completed in 1912.

This gritstone edge rises north of Bamford and above Ladybower Reservoir. From its crest it offers splendid vistas of the Hope Valley. The edge is at its most beautiful when illuminated, as here, by the setting sun across the reservoir.
