Friday marked the end of the school holiday and so we decided to go with SOC to Dovedale. Quite a while since we were all there but a SPLENDID time was had by all. We stayed out late and went without tea.
We started by Viator's bridge at Milldale and walked down the dale.

Being a limestone rich area there are many fossils to be found.
The limestone gives rise to caves and this is a view out of one.
More of the caves.
SOC Told us about money trees, which to our shame, neither of us had heard of before.
Ilam rock is popular with climbers.
The Lion Rock. If you look you can see a lions face.
An arch form in the limestone.
Lover's Leap. (She didn't die, he wasn't dead, they met again and lived happily ever after!)

Gorgeous piccies, and it looks like a lovely spot, Gerry!
