National Trust Foremark with Disabled Access - Derby

aboutSectionText

Nestled in the rolling Derbyshire countryside is Foremark, a 230-acre nature reserve, comprised of woodland habitat, heathland, open countryside, and open water. Owned by Severn Trent and cared for in partnership with the National Trust, the reservoir at Foremark has been a vital link in the water supply network since its creation in the 1970s. Along with the 230-acre nature reserve, Foremark is home to a rich diversity of wildlife and includes Carver’s Rocks, a Site of Special Scientific Interest. You’ll also discover one of the last patches of lowland heath in Derbyshire. Enjoyed by families, walkers and nature enthusiasts alike, there are many walking trails through woodland including a multi-use bridleway, as well as space for family fun and picnics.

On arrival at the main car park, you'll find accessible spaces available with a view over the reservoir, and level access to the visitor facilities, which include a refreshment kiosk and toilets, including an accessible toilet. There is no indoor seating, but plenty of picnic benches across the site, which have a larger overhang on one side of the table. Many of the paths through the woodland area are uneven, with some shallow steps in places. However, the multi-use bridleway is suitable for wheelchairs and mobility scooters, and the dam view trail is also accessible, with a tarmac surface and gentle slopes.
