Upper Dovedale - A walk on the quiet side
'This is a walk that links the popular high peak trail with the upper valley of the river Dove. Upper Dovedale is a lot more tranquil than the more spectacular and overloaded lower end, an ideal place to get away from it all. The route includes a number of medieval remains, including the impressive earthworks of Pilsbury Castle, and some striking scenery.'

Overview
'The western edge of the limestone plateau is characterised by its striking natural landscape. Two major river valleys, that of the Dove and the Manifold, carve there way through the landscape north to south. The landscape is a mixture between its two extremes, the limestone plateau to the east and the western gritstone edges to the west.' The walk starts on the High Peak Trail.
