The National Trust is a registered charity. With your help, we protect some of the most important spaces and places in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. We take care of historic houses, gardens, mills, coastline, forests, woods, fens, beaches, farmland, moorland, islands, archaeological remains, nature reserves, villages and pubs - and then we open them up for ever, for everyone. Dovedale valley is owned and cared for by the National Trust, with important woodlands, wildflower meadows and impressive limestone rock features throughout the valley. Please note; there is a privately owned car park a short and easy walk from the famous Stepping Stones. This is not a National Trust car park. The nearest National Trust car park is a mile away at Ilam Park, where National Trust member can park for free. There are toilets beside the Dovedale car park and these are owned and maintained by the Peak District National Park Authority. There is a charge of 20p to use these toilets.

we had a gorgeous days walking here in June, starting from Ilam and heading along the beautiful valley to Millers dale. the perfect clean waters of the river dove sparkled in the sunshine, the lovely rock formations and caves, flowers and wildlife are ever so enthralling. we paused for a coffee and a delicious Cornish pasty at the little shop before heading back to complete a wonderful seven mile walk.

Called into ashbourne and parked up on the main town car park by the co op. Noticed the direction arrow to the park. When we decided to hav our lunch we walked over to the park which is opposite the entrance to the car park. Lovely stream and ducks. There is a good field for playing ball games. There is a band stand and saw children playing in the paddling pool. There looked a good play area too it looked quite busy. There are seats in various spots and litter bins too. We sat down and enjoyed our picnic. Very pleasont.

My daughter is now 3 & we’ve had a party for her each year with 9 of her friends, All you need to do is provide a cake and an optional balloon, Lunar take care of the rest! The team are always friendly and ensure you have a fab day! The food is perfect for a toddlers party and the party bags are also ideal, I would recommend anyone book their parties here for a stress free time & no cleaning up after ????
