Hartington to Wolfscote Dale Trail Description
The Hartington to Wolfscote Dale Trail is a popular walking route due to its good variety of terrain and beautifully scenic views along the edge of the River Dove. Setting out from the village, the trail cuts across the open farmland to the south until you enter into the beautiful setting of the Beresford Dale National Nature Reserve. Heading a bit further south along the flowing waters of the River Dove will bring you into the Wolfscote Dale NNR, a charming riverside setting featuring several rocky outcrops and rolling green hills.
