Dovedale Day 2

 Looking online I found a circular route starting at the Ilam national trust carpark for about 8 miles so I decided to do this after checking out the hotel and before going home

The NT car park was empty but getting started on the route was an issue as there was work in progress and the temporary diversion signposting was non existent.

I walked up Musden low to Calton then joined the Manifold way Northbound, This route was boring as there was no water in the River Hamps


Beeston Tor

At Beeston Tor I took the hill route southbound on the Manifold trail, past Throwley hall to Rushley then crossing the bridge into Ilam Park, 


Throwley Hall

Unfortunately the diversion signs were equally as bad in this direction and the diversion was via Ilam village them back up the drive to Ilam Hall even though the carpark was over a hedge!


Total 12.3 miles were walked in 4 hours
