노버리 앤 로스톤‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 협곡

The car park is free for National Trust members. I love climbing but I don't like heights....confusing I know! I really enjoyed this short climb but I found myself on a small scramble which got my blood pumping a little!

Car park isn’t free but costs £6.60 for the day or £4 for 4 hours

Very pretty and a place you should visit, however can be very busy!!

This is the easier side of the river Dove, with a surfaced trail leading from the car park to the famous stepping stones. You can make this a loop by crossing at the stepping stones and following the rougher trail back on the other side of the river, or climb Thorpe Cloud and drop back down to the bridge and car park.

Try and get there as early as possible, especially if the weather is nice!

At the time of writing, the National Trust has erected signs informing people that the summit is closed due to erosion and the risk of falling rocks. There is no date set for when the path to the summit may reopen (hopefully soon). The path around the hill is still open and affords spectacular views itself.

Thorpe Cloud rises proudly from Dovedale and affords breathtaking views over the River Dove, Bunster Hill, Ilam and beyond. It has a distinctive conical shape and is a popular summit for hikers in the area. That said, it can get extremely busy up here so choose your moment to climb it.

A short but steep climb to the summit is rewarded with beautiful 360 degree views of the surrounding areas. In 1997, the writer Jeff Kent discovered that a double sunset could be seen against Thorpe Cloud from the top of nearby Lin Dale and, two years later, the phenomenon was first captured on film by the photographer Chris Doherty. The occurrence is visible in good weather on and around the summer solstice and perhaps beyond, when the sun sets on the summit of the hill, partially reappears from its steep northern slope and sets for a second and final time shortly afterwards. The precise event and its location are described in Kent's book The Mysterious Double Sunset
