Hiking the Wainwrights - Season 1: Eastern Fells - Episode 8. The Priest's Hole, The Lake District

Dovedale is one of the most picturesque valleys in the whole of the Lake District with its many waterfalls and imposing crags. The most famous of which is Dove Crag, mostly for the little cave on its eastern face that's frequented by walkers and overnight campers; The Priest's Hole.

This walk takes me up to the crag and then on to two further Wainwrights, resulting in a wonderful day out in the fells with views to die for!

But I can't believe how many people slept in the Priest's Hole the previous night!
