Ilam Park
Ilam Park sits in the Manifold Valley on the Staffordshire edge of the Peak District, with the River Manifold curling through its meadows and woods. The estate makes a fine base for walks into Dovedale and the surrounding limestone dales, with a Gothic-style hall, now a youth hostel, overlooking the grounds. Riverside paths, grazing parkland and the dramatic dale scenery make it a favourite Peak District starting point.
