Earl’s Drive is the main route through Dimmingsdale.

Built by the Earl of Shrewsbury to allow his horse and carriage to travel through his private paradise, this gravelled route gives stunning views through the centre of the valley, overlooking lakes, streams and woodland.

It’s the best way to get the full Dimmingsdale experience, with the majority of all other routes through the valley joining to this magnificent drive.
