This is a beautiful walk with a variety of things to see along the way. These include Dovedale stepping stones,  Lovers Leap, Reynard Cave and Ilam Rock. Enjoy stunning views from Thorpe Cloud (optional) and the surrounding landscapes as we meander alongside the River Dove, stopping half way for refreshments in Milldale at Pollys Cottage.
