Ilam Park, Dovedale and the White Peak
The White Peak Estate encompasses the limestone plateau of Derbyshire's Peak District, a landscape of drystone walls, flower-rich meadows and deep river dales carved from ancient reef limestone. The National Trust manages farm and countryside here to preserve the distinctive pale stone character of this ancient pastoral landscape. Walking across the White Peak feels like stepping into a England that has been quietly, stubbornly itself for centuries.
