Dovedale is a valley in the Peak District of England.[1] The land is owned by the National Trust and attracts a million visitors annually.[2] The valley was cut by the River Dove and runs for just over 3 miles (5 km) between Milldale in the north and a wooded ravine, near Thorpe Cloud and Bunster Hill, in the south.[3] In the wooded ravine, a set of stepping stones cross the river[4] and there are two caves known as the Dove Holes.
Dovedale's other attractions include rock pillars such as Ilam Rock,[5] Viator's Bridge and the limestone features Lovers' Leap and Reynard's Cave.[6]
