Dovedale is a charming stretch of valley along the River Dove as
it runs between the picturesque village of Milldale and Thorpe,
in the magnificent White Peak area of the
Peak District. Offering leafy woodland, limestone caves, and
panoramic hill views, Dovedale is amongst the most charming places
to stay on a cottage break in the Peaks.
Dovedale is perhaps best known for the well-known river stepping
stones, which have become a must-do attraction for visitors. The
dale is also famous for its fantastic array of curious rock
formations - from the stony archway of Reynard's Cave to the
fossil-strewn heights of Lover's leap. At its southernmost end,
Dovedale is dominated by Thorpe Cloud, a hill that juts sharply
skyward here and watches protectively over the entrance to the
valley. Whether it's a gentle stroll or an uphill climbs
you're after, Dovedale has something every walker will love!
The dale is also just a stone's throw from the leafy woods and
grasslands of the Manifold Valley, as well as nearby Llam Park with
its historic hall and beautiful, endless gardens.
