Description

The Linacre Reservoirs have easy paths and nice views, very local to good parking and some decent pubs. Lots of tits, šoupálek dlouhoprstý, brhlík lesní, králíček obecný, and finches. Attracts Thrushes in winter, some raptors, and some upland birds. A good location if you find yourself in Chesterfield with time to kill.
