Cressbrook Dale (original) (raw)

Cressbrook Dale (also called Ravensdale) is a dry carboniferous limestone gorge near Bakewell, Derbyshire, in the Peak District of England. The dale is cut into a plateau of farmland and lies to the south east of the village of Litton. Cressbrook village is at the foot of the valley to the south. The valley is dry over the summer but has a winterbourne stream which runs into the mill pond at Cressbrook Mill and then into the River Wye in Water-cum-Jolly Dale.
