Overview

This dales walk starts from the lovely village of Alstonefield, visiting Wolfscote Dale, Mill Dale; Dove and Hall Dales, before crossing the upland to Castern, for a peek into the Manifold valley. From there we will return to Alstonefield via Hopedale. Hopefully if the weather is kind to us, we will be rewarded with some fine views, and enjoy the fabulous limestone scenery of these dales.
