Abstract
DURING the past two years, the National Trust has, through the generosity of private benefactors, secured the preservation of considerable parts of Dovedale, Derbyshire. On December 31, Mr. E. Hodgson Kerfoot of Buxton and Manchester presented, in commemoration of the Silver Jubilee, the Iron Tors and the Nobbs, 100 acres in all. The Iron Tors are bold outstanding limestone buttresses with varied woodland immediately north of the property presented by Imperial Chemical Industries. The Nobbs is also situated on the Derbyshire side of the River Dove opposite the Hall Dale property presented by Mr. McDougall, about seventeen miles from the source on the Derbyshire moorland height of Axe Edge.
