Most come to explore the beautiful Dove Valley, with its famous Stepping Stones, and strange rock formations, but there are many other excellent walks in the area that either start, or pass through Milldale.

A note from the owner - We have really enjoyed our time living in Milldale. There are many stunning picturesque walks right from the front door, we love to spot the wildlife and have seen owls, kingfishers, herons and even deer! Big dark night skies where star gazing is a must! But our most favourite thing is to wake up to the sound of complete silence only interrupted by the glorious sound of birdsong.
