There are at least two River Wye's that I now know of. The one I knew initially is the one that most people would know and that is in the Wye Valley, Herefordshire and lies at over one hundred miles in length. This one here is a mere 15 miles in length and is a tributary to the River Derwent and is a limestone river in the Peak District of Derbyshire. The river's source lies just west of Buxton, on Axe Edge Moor. Part of the flow passes underground through Poole's Cavern before rising at Wye Head and flowing through the Pavilion Gardens in Buxton. It then flows east, along a route roughly followed by the A6 road. It enters the Peak District, flows just south of Tideswell, then through Ashford-in-the-Water, Bakewell, as seen here, then south of Haddon Hall, before meeting the River Derwent at Rowsley. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River_Wye,_Derbyshire for more details.

A little further ahead are some Greylag Geese. The reservoir, locally nicknamed 'The Rezzer', is now a haven for wildlife and is used by the local fishing association. A nice path takes you all the way round and it makes for a pleasant walk.
