Dovedale is a magical limestone valley in the heart of the Peak District, known for its dramatic cliffs, tranquil river, and the iconic stepping stones at the base of Thorpe Cloud. It’s one of the area’s most beloved walks—easy to access, full of character, and suitable for all ages.
The riverside path winds past caves, rock formations, and lush woodland, with highlights like Lovers’ Leap and Reynard’s Cave. For a longer outing, continue to the peaceful village of Milldale, where the scenery opens up and the crowds thin out.
