Cressbrook Dale (also called Ravensdale) is a dry carboniferous limestone gorge near Bakewell, Derbyshire, in the Peak District of England. The dale is cut into a plateau of farmland and lies to the south east of the village of Litton. Cressbrook village is at the foot of the valley to the south.[1]
The valley is dry over the summer but has a winterbourne stream which runs into the mill pond at Cressbrook Mill and then into the River Wye in Water-cum-Jolly Dale.
