- The long curve
of Carsington Water's dam fits well into the landscape. It was
only opened as recently as 1992 and is unusual in that it is
filled mainly in winter by water pumped from the river Derwent
and released in summer to provide the supply for the North midlands.
- Many water
- sports are available including sailing, windsurfing, rafting
and canoeing. There are also fishing facilities, mountain biking
on a specially constructed 8 mile circuit, picnic sites, restaurants,
craft shops and a Visitors Centre explaining the story of Carsington.
