Hall Dale is a steep and narrow dry valley that runs from the hamlet of Stanshope into Dovedale. The top is characterised by steep grassy banks that become a riot of colour in spring and summer as many varieties of wildflowers blossom. The latter section descends steeply through woodland into Dovedale. Hall Dale is very idyllic and is typically peaceful, even at busier times.

Hiking

A great place for a stroll, surrounded by hills on both sides as you walk along the bottom of the valley.
