Ilam and Dovedale

I took a couple of days in the southern Peak District.

Dovedale

Just west of Ilam is this beautiful valley. A 3 mile walk from the south end to Milldale, sandwiches and icecream on the river bank, and then returning the same way.

Commentaries

Ice cream van The ice-cream van in Ilam was a welcome indulgence; but I was surprised by the bricks.
Schoolhouse Ilam itself is a custom-architecture village - all the buildings are in this style.
Stone thingy Clearly a stone thingy.
Straw pig The B&B was at farm, right outside the door was this field of hens and a straw pig.
