Alovely spot to stop and listen to the river gently flow.

St. Giles is the Church of England Parish Church for Hartington, within the Diocese of Derby. Hartington Church dates back to about 1250 AD and was once one of the largest parishes in England covering some 24,000 acres. During the 19th century several other churches were built to serve nearby communities. Now Hartington Church just serves the immediate village and the parish of Hartington Town Quarter and is part of "The White Peak" group of parishes together with Biggin, Earl Sterndale, Monyash, Chelmorton and, Taddington.

Start of some great walks

You don't need a torch. It is a good test of nerve to walk all the way to the end without one. Just keep your head down / hands on the walls and feel for stones with your feet to avoid tripping. When you get to the end and turn round you can usually see a little daylight filtering in. It is rarely total darkness even right at the end. I imagine a good spot for the other sort of 'tripping' 😁 The water can often be higher than your boots so be prepared for wet feet. BTW it isn't a cave, it is an exploratory mine gallery, which I don't believe retreived any quantity of lead, before being abandoned.

Hartington War Memorial was erected in 1924, to commemorate those lost in the First World War. The names of those who fell in the Second World War were added when the memorial was altered post-1945. The monument consists of five large boulders, the tallest standing upright at the rear of the site, like a headstone. To the foot of this are two horizontal slabs, roughly squared, and on those are inclined two further slabs, each with a smooth worked face on which the names of the Fallen are inscribed. The names of those lost in the First World War are recorded on the stone inclined against the tall headstone, with the Second World War memorial to the left-hand side. The memorial stands on a slightly raised randomly paved platform with stone kerbs defining its boundary, and with roughly shaped stone piers at either end of its frontage to the street. Between these piers are two intermediate stone post supporting chains. The side and rear boundaries are formed by drystone walls. It has been designated as a Grade II listed building.

Wolfscote Dale is apparently the area in which the last wild wolf in England was killed in the 15th Century

Choice of Bridge or Stepping Stones to cross the river, pretty spot with lovely views up & down the Dove. This is the point between Wolfscote Dale and Beresford Dale.

In 1925 this cave was excavated and explorers discovered the remains of “ten individuals, mostly children, two bronze brooches, one penannular bronze brooch, bronze pins, a fragment of bronze chain, nine beads of various types, an antler cheek-piece, and other objects, including Roman, Romano-British and Medieval pottery”. Apparently the cave was later home to a family with 6 children!
