Polly's Cottage Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great place to stop, grab a brew or some food/ice cream and sit by the river. Wonderful owner.

Milldale is a secluded village in an attractive location. Lots of visitors come up from Dovedale though. There's a small local shop that sells sandwiches, ice creams and hot drinks. It's great for a relax after a days hike and a good starting point for exploring Dovedale, Biggin Dale and Wolfcote Dale. There's a free car park not far from the village centre.

Fishpond Bank

Highlight • Trail

Fishpond Bank is a particularly pretty stretch of Wolfescote Dale. In spring and summer, the bank bursts into a riot of colour with wildflowers. And, of course, the River Dove meanders through in its typically idyllic way; crystal-clear, gentle and ever-photogenic.
