Dovedale Stepping Stones: Popular Peak District attraction re-opens after repairs

A popular Peak District attraction has re-opened after repairs.

Derbyshire County Council has confirmed that repairs at Dovedale Stepping Stones have now been completed and the popular Peak District attraction has reopened to the public.

The attraction was closed due to safety concerns after one of the stepping stones had been dislodged in April following a period of heavy rain.

A spokesperson for Derbyshire County Council said in an online announcement: “The Dovedale Stepping Stones have now been repaired.

"Many thanks to National Trust in the Midlands for their help whilst we coordinated and completed this work.”

The stepping stones were laid back in the 1890s, and underwent repairs after damage was caused by Storm Babet in 2023, before reopening to the public again in 2024.
