가장 멋진 웨튼 주변 자연유산 20곳

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

top of wheeldon..quite steep

Very steep (near vertical) section at the top not for the faint hearted! Climbing briefly required and the rocks may be slippery if wet, some surfaces are a bit crumbly, and it is likely to be windy! But wonderful views

Tough little steep hill in this area but worthwhile doing.

Park house -Thought it too dangerous ,long fall if you slip . Need a rope ! Chrome hill lovely.

The beauty of these hills is well worth the climbs

I found coming down Parkhouse Hill incredibly dangerous. Very steep, no clear path, seemingly just very steep rock. Couldn't see any safe way down so had to shimmy my way on my backside. Made unsafer by a surprise brief sunshower that made everything slippery! Views at the top were really lovely, but not sure it was worth it 😬

Fantastic views thoughout, bit of a scramble at the top, bit slippery underfoot, fair degree of exposure in wet, windy, snowy condition.

An exciting airy ridge that is easily accessible. A head for heights is beneficial!

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

Short but steep climb up but the views over chrome and park house hills are well worth it.

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

Dovedale is owned by the National Trust and has been since 1934. It became a National Nature Reserve in 2006, in recognition of its importance for wildlife and native flora, and it is also designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The limestone rock that forms Dovedale and the surrounding valleys is made up of the fossilised remains of marine life that lived during the Carboniferous period, 350 million years ago, when this area was underneath a shallow tropical sea. As you walk through the dale, keep your eyes peeled for fossils in the surface of the rocks. The River Dove is renowned for its trout fishing, and was immortalised in the book The Compleat Angler, written in 1653 by Izaak Walton and Charles Cotton, who lived nearby. For much of its course the River Dove has one bank in Derbyshire and one in Staffordshire, forming the border between the two counties. https://letsgopeakdistrict.co.uk/listing/dovedale/ If you want to avoid the crowds and parking issues that can be found at the main visitor entrance between Ilam and Thorpe, you can access the walk from Milldale where there is car parking available. Or if you don't mind adding an extra mile or so to your walk the car parking available on the Tissington Trail close to Alsop en le Dale is another option.

Thorpe Cloud is an isolated limestone hill lying between the villages of Thorpe and Ilam on the Derbyshire/Staffordshire border at the southern end of Dovedale. It is a popular hill amongst the many day-trippers who visit the area, and provides a fine viewpoint north up the dale and south across the Midland plain. Thorpe Cloud rises straight up from the River Dove at Dovedale and reaches a height of 942ft. Its distinctive conical shape viewed from Dovedale gives the hill a mountainous feel. Little Switzerland is the name often given to this section of Dovdale and you can understand why. Dovedale was one of the locations used in the filming of the 2010 film Robin Hood staring Russell Crowe including scenes with Thorpe Cloud in the background

A fun hill to climb with some scrambling needed for awesome views of the surrounding landscape. Great for a sunset view of Chrome Hill.

A very steep ascent from Earl Sterndale but amazing views from the trig point on the top.

The car park fills quickly, consider parking at Ilam Hall. Both are National Trust car parks. There is a cafe at the hall and free toilets. Toilets at Dovedale carpark are 20p.
