On day one we visited the Headstone Viaduct in Monsal Dale, near Buxton, where the river Wye flows beneath a disused railway line. A short walk down the side of the valley from the car park at the top takes you over the river via a narrow footbridge, from where you can walk under the 50-foot span arches of the viaduct before climbing the steep valley sides to walk along the top.

In the evening we headed for two reservoirs, the other side of Buxton. Dams in the Goyt valley have formed the Fernilee and Errwood reservoirs, and to the north east edge of the latter an overflow has been built to prevent the reservoir bursting its banks. The water cascades down several concentric circular steps, forming abstract geometric patterns that we took great pleasure in photographing.
