Overview

Experience the delights of this spectacular part of the Dove valley. We start from the tiny hamlet of Milldale and work our way southwards, turning off up into Hall Dale. The route continues via Stanshope and Alstonefield. The limestone crags in the Dove valley are not to be missed and attract many walkers at all times of the year.
