How collecting works
Rarity is an editorial measure of how collectible a place is within Unfound Earth—not how difficult, dangerous, or accessible it is to visit. Rarer finds award more XP. Marking a place FOUND adds it to your collection and awards its base XP once.

Overview
Ladybower is the lowest of the three Upper Derwent reservoirs. Its earth embankment dam and bellmouth spillways distinguish it from the masonry dams at Derwent and Howden. The catalogue pin represents its dam rather than the whole shoreline.

Getting there
Severn Trent identifies Heatherdene car park for Ladybower Dam and the Plugholes trail. Fairholmes serves the Derwent Dam routes farther north; these are different visitor starting points.
