Dovedale

Dr. Johnston gave it a glowing testimonial: “He who has seen Dovedale has no need to visit the Highlands.” Cars can go no farther than the car park whence you walk into the dale, cross the River Dove on stepping stones and enter a rocky ravine. The farther you walk into the dale the more you are tempted to continue as round each river bend beautiful scenery unfolds—fantastic rock formations, steeply wooded hillsides, and the noisy, tumbling water. The length of the dale is a delightful 4-mile walk. Walkers can be dropped at the car park and picked up in Milldale by Viators Bridge.
