Share with care
Dovedale is a National Nature Reserve that serves as an important refuge and research location in terms of species movement due to climate change, and how we can improve the area to benefit more species of birds, animals, insects and amphibians. The National Trust has developed further links with universities and regular research is conducted on site, enabling a better understanding of the different habitats, species, geology and use by visitors. The Nature Reserve is a major resource for schools and other education providers who work in partnership with the us to inspire and teach young people about how delicate and sensitive Dovedale is and how best to look after it.
The Nature Reserve is also a dynamic landscape where hundreds of thousands of visitors annually get a taste of the wild and experience everything that makes the dales of the White Peak so special, be it woodland, wildflowers, limestone crags or spectacular views - all at their best. But to help keep it at it's best we need everyone that visits to take special care of this beautiful place so that nature can thrive and other people in the landscape can enjoy their time here.
