The valley was very quiet apart from the locals
thanks to an early start, although it did get very busy here as the morning
progressed. |

There are beautiful views from the river
towards the valley slopes with its old barns and dry stone walls, as well as
the many caves cut into the rock over thousands of years. |

Our walk reached north as far as the small
hamlet of Milldale before starting the circular return journey and climbing
out of the Dovedale river valley. |

We walk back to where we started near the Izaak
Walton Hotel and Thorpe Cloud via Hall Dale which is located to the south
west of Milldale. In total the walk was around 5 miles long. |
