The Dove - By Stephen Harvey

Down by the river edge
On the path to viator bridge
Visions of childhood passtimes
Eclipsed the Dovedale Church
Dip'd toes in babbling brooks
Across the stepping stones
Lovers leap from Ravens Tor
Emerg'd from clouds of Thorpe

They were originally built in the Victorian era to enable tourists to cross the River Dove and continue to serve this purpose today.Ravens Tor, lovers leap, Viator bridge, Thorpe cloud and The dovedale Church are all natural features along the river bank..
