WALK NOTES

Dovedale Car Park - Stepping Stones - Lovers Leap - Natural Arch - Pickering Tor - Ilam Rock - Dovedale Wood - Air Cottage - Ilam Tops Farm - Bunster Hill - Dovedale Car Park

A short Sunday morning stroll through a lovely dale close to home. The dale was cast in shadows for much of the walk. It was the first time I had left the dale via Ilam Rock and up through Dovedale Woods. The views from the tops were great. On my return the car park attendant remembered me and wondered if I had enjoyed my walk - which in fact I had indeed.
