Dovedale is a wee valley at the south end of the Peak District. There's an easy footpath following the river all the way up to somewhereorother, and there are stepping stones, bridges, interesting rock formations and caves along the way to keep the kiddies amused.
It's a lovely walk, although Louis elected to take his bike. We stopped for a picnic and a paddle before the usual ice cream stop at the end. Peter also has a splendid picture of the stepping stones here.
In the evening, and with Peter and Kirsty and family now in attendance, we all had dinner at the Royal Oak in Alton. Very nice it was too, although sometimes the kiddies find these occasions a bit dry. Luckily Holly was on hand to escort them outside and lead them in some amusing games while we supped wine and chose desserts...
