Dovedale
Derbyshire and The Peak District

 

Dovedale is located at the southern tip of the Peak District National Park,
about 4 miles north of Ashbourne. The limestone gorge is one of the most well known beauty spots in the Peak District and with the added attraction of the River Dove. For much of the way, the river Dove is the boundary between Staffordshire and Derbyshire.
