Our drawing of the route, over road and path data from OpenStreetMap. It shows where the walk goes and what it goes through. It is not a survey and not a navigation aid — carry OS Explorer on the hill. Off-lead information here is what walkers reported or what signage allows — never our advice. Whether and when a dog is off the lead is the owner’s decision and legal responsibility; keep dogs under control near livestock and follow signs on the day.

Directions to the start →

Six miles and a little over three hours down the Dove through Beresford Dale and Wolfscote Dale, returning over the tops by Biggin Dale or the lane to Hartington. Start from the pay-and-display car park off Hall Bank in Hartington, a couple of minutes from the duck pond and usually with space outside bank holidays. The National Trust owns much of the dale and asks for dogs on leads all year where stock graze and in the nature reserve sections, the Dove gives clean drinking and shallow paddling the whole way, and the stepping stones and narrow riverside ledges are slippery in the wet.

THE SMALL PRINTDogs on leads all year in the National Trust dales where farm animals graze and in the nature reserve stretches, to protect livestock and wildlife.
