Distance is 8 miles (13 km); total climb is 1,360 feet (415 m); terrain is paths, tracks and field trods, steep grassy descent.

After its wide valley north of Hartington, the River Dove flows through the gorge-like Bereford and Wolfscote dales.  Many declare these dales to be as equally attractive as Dovedale proper, and this superlatively beautiful ramble includes two of the loveliest Peak District villages, some sweeping views and long stretches of glorious riverside walking through the dales themselves.

The first village, which is our starting point, is Hartington, dominated by a large and handsome medieval church.  Once a bustling centre, the limestone houses, inns and shops grouped attractively around the spacious market place have the atmosphere more of a small town than a village. Later we'll visit Alstonefield, a delightfully unspoiled and peaceful village before heading for Berefords Dale for a charming walk through the dales back to Hartington.
