Is this the most beautiful valley in the Peak District? Quite possibly. You run down the River Dove from Milldale through Dovedale in the White Peak.
The limestone was formed from sea creatures about 350 million years ago, and meltwater has carved it into crags, spires and caves. The scale of it is epic.
It gets more than a million visitors a year, so go midweek outside the school holidays if you can.
