I’ve walked most of the Dales and do agree that Lathkill Dale is one of the prettiest Dales in the Peak District of Derbyshire .
On this particular stretch over the River Lathkill, by way of the bridge, there is a disused mine where in bygone days they used to dig for tin. Now a peace full setting, one can only imagine what it must have been like in the days of mining for tin. It was the bridge that struck me which I thought would make for a good painting.
