known as Darley and Mr Vawdry decided that in order to attract visitors,

altered to the more attractive ‘Two Dales’. With its park endowed by Sir
Joseph and the station still used as a stopping place on Peak Rail’s line from
Matlock, Darley Dale is still a popular place from which to start many of
the long or short walks in the area, or simply walk the dog on a sunny day.
