How do we grade our walks?
Meeting in the main car park in Dovedale our walk will see us head to Ilam park and hall, this grand home is now a YHA and the grounds have a bunkhouse which is home to our Ilam and Dovedale Walking weekend.
From here we follow rolling country typical of the white limestone of the southern peaks till we reach Milldale, from the deep valley both we pick up the river Dove and follow the river all the back to Dovedale. On reaching Dovedale house looking for a short challenge can head to the top of Thorpe Cloud, or if you looking for something more relaxing you can pose for the compulsory picture on the stepping stones.
