A very old hamlet dating back to 1055...originally a Viking settlement. Beautiful views and very private walks. Dovedale is just a bit further where Russell Crowe & Co. filmed parts of the latest Robin Hood film. Breathtaking hills, views and the River Dove. Magical places.ashbourne bed and breakfasthttp://www.thorpe-cottage.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096473303247600400.post-32541906630786800402010-08-31T22:04:46.599+10:002010-08-31T22:04:46.599+10:00Whenever I want a little getaway to England, I bri...Whenever I want a little getaway to England, I bring up Google Earth. I pick a place (usually related to my WIP) and get down to street level. Then I travel along the road as if I am really there. <br /><br />It's a wonderful "fix" if you can't physically be there! And it gives you a 360 degree view of the area along the road. An important research tool!<br />~Jo~Joanna Waughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08053211782268427159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2096473303247600400.post-60176373468490944562010-08-30T01:54:01.821+10:002010-08-30T01:54:01.821+10:00Beautiful, photos, Lindsay.

We used to go there for a day, or a weekend camping and walking. We always tried to go to the Well Dressing.<br /><br />Lovely post, made me all nostalgic.
