Derbyshire Dales National Nature Reserve, National nature reserve in Peak District, England.
The reserve encompasses five limestone valleys spanning 385 hectares with diverse habitats including grasslands, woodlands, streams, and limestone formations.
The limestone dales within the reserve contain numerous geological formations and fossils that document millions of years of marine life deposits.
Natural England wardens conduct educational programs about local ecosystems through initiatives like Lathkill's Watery World and Meadow Magic.
Multiple access points with parking facilities serve each of the five valleys: Lathkill Dale, Cressbrook Dale, Monk's Dale, Long Dale, and Hay Dale.
The reserve contains winterbourne streams that flow above ground during wet periods and disappear underground through limestone passages during dry seasons.
