Entrance of Dream Hole

Access

Anyone wanting to visit Dream Hole, in the area south west of Wirksworth and north of Sprink Wood, please make a courtesy call in advance to the farmer, Peter Ward, on (reveal). Parking is not easy on Stainsborough Lane. Go through the gate onto the public footpath opposite Stainsborough Hall's driveway. As you enter into the 3rd field, look right & follow the drystone wall up to an obvious high spot that has a fenced-off area. Difficult access down a steep, small and slippery ravine to the entrances.
