Wyming Brook

Wyming Brook, in the Yorkshire Peak District, on the edge of the National Park, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), a wooded ravine with a crystal-clear brook running through it, over mossy stones, part-submerged tree roots and criss-crossed by a series of a picturesque wooden footbridges. It’s a great spot for walkers, photographers and nature and wildlife enthusiasts. Wyming Brook rises in Redmires Reservoirs, flowing for over a kilometre down steep terrain into an underground chamber before it flows into the lower of the Rivelin Dams.

Wyming Brook is recognised as one of the very best green spaces in the UK.
