Peak District | Ilam Park | Dovedale Stepping Stones
Coffee and a great view at Ilam Park. Beautiful walk to Dovedale stepping stones.
[NT] Ilam Park. Derbyshire. A place to discover! Jan 2018
Have visted this place a few times over the years and it never fails to impress or delight. There is so much to see and enjoy. On this occasion when we visited, towards the end of January on a cold late afternoon, the views and history surrounded us. Starting off looking across to Thorpe Cloud, on to Ilam Hall and Dovedale House, down the winding path to the River Manifold, along the river bank to St Bertram's Bridge, then finally a stroll back to Church of the Holy Cross (A rare look inside this religious building). By this time it was getting dark and becoming colder. A beautiful place, it’s clear to see why there are thousands of visitors throughout the year.
(Ilam park covers almost 160 acres spreading over both county boundaries of Derbyshire and Staffordshire.)
0:00 Thorpe Cloud.
Is a limestone hill, 287 meters high, overlooking Ilam, across the Dale and the Midland plain.
1:43 & 13:10 Ilam Hall and Gardener's Cottage.
It’s a Tudor Gothic style Grade II* Listed Building which dates back to 1821. Was once a country house then in 1934 Sir Robert McDougal bought the hall and gave it to the National Trust to become a Youth Hostel and it is still run as such today. The grounds are open to the public, and are a starting point for one of the prettiest river walks in the area.
3:12 Dovedale House (adjacent to Ilam Hall)
The former vicarage, Dovedale House is now run as a residential Youth centre. It's a Grade II Listed Building dating back to 1840.
07:37 Path to the the River Manifold.
4:17 & 9:37 St Bertram's Bridge, Ilam.
Grade II Listed single span bridge that crosses the River Manifold, has its roots back in the 18th century. The bridge’s name comes from the association with St. Bertram, a Saxon saint whose shrine is in the nearby church, Church of the Holy Cross.
13:41 Church of the Holy Cross, Ilam.
It's a Grade I Listed Building that was built in 1618 with the base of the tower dating back to the 13th Century. A rare look inside this religious building.

Peak District Walk - Dovedale & Ilam Hall
This week we headed to the White Peak area of the Peak District for a short 8 and a 1/4 mile wander. We Parked at Ilam then walked a circular route through Dovedale up to Milldale and back over the top to the Manifold Valley. As you can imagine we had to pay a visit to Ilam Hall to sample some delights from the Manifold Tea Rooms.

Visit Ilam Village - White Peak - Staffordshire
Beautiful Village in the Manifold Valley with what I call 'Gingerbread Houses' that look like they came out of a Hans Christian Anderson story
Ilam is best known as the location of the neo-Gothic Ilam Hall, a stately home built in the 1820s, and now a youth hostel owned by the National Trust. It is set in large parklands that are open to visitors.
Ilam is about 4 miles from Ashbourne at the entrance to the scenic Manifold Valley. Ilam is very picturesque, with its Swiss chalet style houses and matching school house. It also lies close to the popular Dovedale valley.
While most of the buildings in the village are from the past two centuries, Ilam dates from Saxon times or earlier.
It is in the Chapel of St Bertram, built in 1618 by the Meverell, Port and Hurt families, that the remains and shrine of the St Bertram (or Bertelin) can be found. St Bertram was an 8th-century son of a Mercian king who renounced his royal heritage for prayer and meditation after his wife and child were killed by wolves. He is said to have converted many to Christianity, and his shrine became a point of pilgrimage in the Middle Ages, it being reputed to be able to work miraculous cures.
Wingfield Cromwell, 2nd Earl of Ardglass is buried here.

Accessible Dove Dale Walk and Ilam Park with AccessTOG
Accessible Dove Dale Walk and Ilam Park
Dovedale’s famous stepping stones are less than half a mile from the main car park. It is a beautiful walk along the River Dove and is in my opinion the prettiest of the Derbyshire Dales. The land is owned by the National Trust, and annually attracts a million visitors. It is a great stop for a picnic and to spot wildlife, whatever time of the year. It is only a short walk but I highly recommend visiting this area and taking in the beauty of this dale.

Ilam, Staffordshire Peak District, UK road bike ride
A fantastic day out in two of the counties straddled by the Peak District; this is the longest and hilliest ride (so far) this year.
This is quite possibly my favourite circuit in the Peak; it’s the fourth time I have cycled it, but only once a year. It’s always good barometer of my current form!
This is where I stopped for lunch:
