| Dovedale is one of the highlights of the Peak District. This beautiful valley, where the River Dove carves through the limestone rocks and woodland, has stunning scenery and many points of interest on the way. This walk can be done in one day, but the best way to enjoy the gorge is to take two days. Start in Hartington, which is well served by buses, and finish up in Ilam or Thorpe (depending which day you finish). The overnight stop is in Alstonefield, which has lots of places to stay. | ||

Anyone leaving in south London really should head out to the North Downs - not many capital cities...
