ABOUT LATHKILL DALE
The Lathkill Dale is often considered one of the most beautiful yet lesser-known dales in Derbyshire. The River Lathkill flows from a limestone cave near the top of the dale before joining the River Wye.
The upper and lower sections of the dale each have a distinct character, with the transition occurring just below Over Haddon village—making it easily accessible for visitors at the Lathkil Hotel. Today, the dale is a peaceful retreat, but 150 years ago, it was a hub of industry, with lead mining playing a vital role in the local economy.
Remnants of this historic activity can still be spotted throughout the area. Summer brings vibrant life to the dale, though spring and autumn are equally enchanting. In winter, the landscape transforms, offering a unique and striking beauty that captivates many visitors.
