About Shipley Country Park Mapperley Reservoir Car Park
This is walker territory, really. If you're staying at Golden Valley Caravan and Camping Park or Riddings Wood Holiday Park nearby, it's worth the short drive over for a leg-stretch and some fresh air. The surrounding woodland gives it a bit more character than you'd expect from what is basically a working water supply. Birdwatchers do well here too - bring binoculars and you might spot something worth the trip.
Kids will manage the walk fine, but they won't be entertained for hours on end. It's not a splash-about sort of place, and there's no cafe or facilities that I could see, so come prepared. The car park at Mapperley makes access straightforward enough. Go in the warmer months when the path isn't boggy, and don't expect crowds. It's functional rather than fancy, honest rather than Instagram-ready. That's rather the point.
