Join the Movement to

Save Amber Valley is a dedicated movement striving to prevent the construction of electric pylons that threaten the scenic beauty of Derbyshire's Amber Valley. We are committed to preserving this cherished landscape and promoting sustainable practices for the well-being of our community and the preservation of the landscape and ecosystems that thrive here.

​

The Amber Valley is part of the Derbyshire Peak Fringe, an important transition  between the Derbyshire uplands and lowlands, providing pathways for species to migrate and considered a landscape of extremely high quality. The variety of ancient woodlands, steep hills and priority habitat lowland meadow contribute to this unique landscape. 

Ogston reservoir, within the valley, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and homes thousands of migratory wintering birds and the Valley is a recognised haven for wildlife and protected birds such as Osprey and Peregrine Falcons.

Ogston Hall, a Grade II* building of national importance, Wingfield Manor, under the care of English Heritage, and over 50 other listed buildings within the conservation area or overlooking the valley, are important as much for their relationship to the Valley and its setting. 

As well as an important amenity for the towns and villages across the region, the Amber Valley also generates much needed income for the local economy from tourists and walkers, especially since the whole scale disappearance of larger employers from the area, and the challenge on farming revenues.
