Beautiful Dovedale

Walking is very popular at the moment and a great way to meet likeminded people in a relaxed, carefree and romantic atmosphere.

The walks will be approximately 6 to 8 miles in length around Derby, The Peak District, Staffordshire Moorlands, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire, and none will be too strenuous. Strolls will be classed as either 1=Easy, 2=Moderate, some up hill or down hill walking, 3=Hard some steeper hills and rougher terrain.

Although we shall end most walks at a public house where you can get something to eat and drink I would suggest you bring a packed lunch.

This walk is a class 2 with 1 steep climb out of the dale at Milldale, approximately 7 miles in length.

Dovedale in Derbyshire and the Peak District, is owned by the National Trust and is farmed with many sheep on the rocky slopes and in the woods. It is little more than 3 miles distance between Thorpe to the south of the dale and Milldale in the north with the famous part being the wooded ravine between the stepping stones, a short distance from the car park at the front of Thorpe Cloud and the cave like Dove Holes. Dovedale's stepping stones appear on thousands of post cards and the area attracts a million visitors a year.

Many of the rocks in Dovedale used to be parts of active coral reefs. Flowing water aided by rain and wind has eaten away the softer limestone. In some places caverns or arches have been formed, in others where the harder rock has offerred more resistance to erosion, huge crags or pinnacles have been left projecting from the sides of the valley. Lichens cover parts of them but for the most part they stand out bare, grey and massive. Many have been named.

Please park at the Free car park on Narlow Lane opposite the Dog and Partridge Hotel.
