Deep Dale, Protected scientific area in King Sterndale, United Kingdom.
Deep Dale extends for two miles as a steep-sided gorge near Buxton, reaching depths of 230 feet within a plateau of agricultural land.
Local residents Micah Salt and Robert Milletts excavated Thirst House Cave in the 1880s after discovering a bear skull, leading to numerous Roman artifact findings.
The site maintains strong connections to regional folklore, with Thirst House Cave originally named Hob Hurst House after a mythological cave-dwelling goblin.
Visitors can access the valley through the Wye Dale car park and explore the area via the Midshires Way long-distance footpath system.
The dale contains a winterbourne stream that flows only during winter months, fed by the Deepdale Side Resurgence spring and another spring near Thirst House Cave.
