Peter Fidler Reserve

The Peter Fidler Reserve is situated alongside the Stockley Trail at Carr Vale, on the former Bolsover Colliery South Tip.

The site contains a variety of wildlife habitats which can be visited and offers good views of the adjacent Derbyshire Wildlife Trust’s Carr Vale Nature Reserve.

The site has been dedicated to the memory of Peter Fidler who was born in 1769 at Mill Farm, next to the former colliery site.

Peter Fidler was a famous North American explorer and chief surveyor of the Hudson Bay Company in Canada.
A commemorative stone cairn on the reserve is similar to his memorial at Dauphin in Canada.
