Wolfscote Dale

Highlight • Viewpoint

Wolfscote Dale is an idyllic limestone dale, close to Hartington. The crystalline River Dove flows through the heart of this steep-sided dale, which has dramatic screes, cliffs and caves towering above it. The wildflower meadows beside the river are the perfect place to stop for a moment and take it all in. While equally beautiful, Wolfscote is usually quieter than nearby Dovedale.

Upper Lathkill Dale

Highlight • Gorge

The upper Lathkill Dale has a very different atmosphere to the rest of the dale. Narrower and dryer, the limestone cliffs and screes rise dramatically. Rocky and grassy underfoot, it's idyllic and packed with character. The upper Lathkill is a fabulous place for wildflowers in spring and summer.

Weirs on the River Lathkill

Highlight • Viewpoint

Visited in summer and the river had all but disappeared. It's more overgrown now and not like it was in my youth. Still a very nice walk though!
