Other attractions situated within the valley include Ilam Rock, Viators Bridge and Lovers' Leap – all of which are popular with those visiting the area.

Natalie Wolfenden, author and outdoor enthusiast at Millets, said: “With spring now underway, it’s the perfect time to tackle some of the UK’s most rewarding walking routes. The longer days give you more opportunity to soak up the scenery and embrace the season.

“Whether you’re heading to Edinburgh or Cornwall, a little preparation before you head out can make it even more enjoyable. Sturdy walking boots are essential, and I would always recommend dressing in warm, breathable baselayers that can be adjusted as the weather changes. A light jacket, hat, and gloves can still come in handy on cooler days.

“Planning your route ahead of time also helps you make the most of the lighter evenings, while keeping some flexibility means you can adapt if spring showers do appear. With the right preparation, there’s no better way to welcome in the new season.”
