HFF Dovedale tors fence

After a splendid walk along the floor of this ravine like dale we arrive at a pair of improbable tors on each side of the River Dove with a suitable footbridge to cross over. ‘The pinnacle blade of rock on our left here is Pickering Tor tilting backwards, secreting a cave at its base, while on our right here is the remarkable Ilam Rock thrusting upwards (out of picture) into the skies. Each of these towers virtually 100ft into the air: quite incredible.’ (Paul Hannon: Southern Peak –Hillside books)
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb
