What is the landscape like in the southern part of the Peak District near Dovedale?

The southern part of the Peak District near Dovedale is the gentler face of Derbyshire’s national park. While the north, Dark Peak area, is all brooding moorland and towering heights, the White Peak is gently rolling hills and green dales. It’s here that you’ll find the River Dove, the famous Dovedale Stepping Stones and the nearby limestone hill, Thorpe Cloud. It’s a great area for walking and wildlife watching, and perhaps a little more family friendly too.
