Monk's Dale is a short steep-sided gorge. The dale is cut into a plateau of farmland and lies to the east of the village of Wormhill. The head of the valley leads into Peter Dale to the north. Miller's Dale is at the foot of the valley to the south.
The dale is named after monks of Lenton Priory (a Benedictine monastery in Nottingham). During the 12th century the priory was granted the income from a large area of north Derbyshire by William Peverel.
