Ilam Park runs along both banks of the River Manifold, with spectacular views towards Dovedale. Its scenery provides us with some fantastic photographic opportunities.
![]() | There are magnificent buildings, and amazing features for both landscape and close-up photography and photo walks. At Ilam the rivers Manifold and Hamps re-emerge after following underground courses for a few miles. Together they form the largest such rising in the country and are known as the 'boil-holes' as the water appears to bubble and boil as it appears from underground. Above the boil holes the river bed is dry for much of the summer. Hinkley Wood is semi-natural ancient woodland and is designated as a SSSI particularly for its small-leaved and large-leaved limes and their hybrids. It has well developed ground flora that includes several local species; interesting epiphytic lichen flora and excellent invertebrate fauna including several very rare species of beetle and local molluscs. |
