Peter Dale is a short dry crag-sided valley near Buxton, Derbyshire, in the Peak District of England.
The Carboniferous limestone rocks of all these dales were formed 350 million years ago from the shells and sediments of a tropical sea.
[1][2] The walking along the flat valley floor is easy except for a couple of short rock-strewn sections.
The Pennine Bridleway runs across the southern end and then parallel to the dale about 1km to the east (through the hamlet of Wheston).
[1][3] Peter Dale's limestone cliffs are well-suited to rock climbing, with 25 graded routes on Main Crag.
