Discover the limestone countryside of the southern Peak District, famed for its wildlife and geology on an easy walk to Dovedale valley. On the River Dove you might spot ducks, dippers, heron or brown trout.
Dare you take the Spooky Trail? This October half-term at Ilam Park children can hunt for clues and make a muddy broth in the woods.
Much of Ilam Park and Dovedale is grazed by sheep and cattle by our tenant farmers. Dogs are always welcome, but please keep them on a lead to help us minimise disturbance to the farm animals.
Find out how we are improving the River Dove for fish, birds and invertebrates.
This is a great time to get out in the woods! See and hear woodland wildlife, spot fungi and lichens and admire their wonderful shapes.
Follow our route from Ilam Park through limestone countryside to discover the wildlife that lives along the way.
