Thorpe cloud is the name of a limestone hill in Dovedale. It is a popular walk and and views across Dovedale are well worth the effort. It is a short trek, but can be tough in areas near the top. There are good paths which are well signed. At 287 metres high it doesn't take long to reach the summit (30Min's). Though the summit looks flat from the bottom, it is narrow and steep so take care, it can also be windy at the top. Once at the top you can choice to go back the way you came or down a more tricky but quicker slope.
i fell down this a bit of the way on the way down it was really scary put me off high hills now
