Deep Dale is a nature reserve that’s full of character, packed with beauty and affords a delightful sense of solitude. As the grassland’s underlying rock is carboniferous limestone, the reserve is home to many wonderful species of wildflowers. Spring and summer are the best times for insect and wildflower displays but it’s a wonderful place to explore at any time of year. There are also caves within the dale.
