Tips

May 14, 2022

Hiking

The picturesque village of Ilam (eye-lamb) nestles beside the River Manifold in the Staffordshire Peak District among limestone hills. It sits in the Peak District National Park on the Staffordshire border with Derbyshire, close to the famous Dovedale valley. It has Alpine style cottages, a church and river and is set against the backdrop of Bunster Hill, Thorpe Cloud and the steep and tumbling pastures. There is a youth hostel at Ilam Hall, set within Ilam Park, cared for by the National Trust.

Hiking

Parked at the YMCA which also offers a cafe and toilets and ventured along the river and up the bank to the stepping stones. Beautiful landscape but little busy at times.
