All about the timing !
Dovedale的点评
点评：To read the reviews before visiting can be quite off putting. However our visit did not reflect the recent bad reviews.
For context our visit commenced about 10.00 am on a September Monday morning in uncertain weather conditions. National Trust members, so free parking appreciated. Fifty pence for toilet access ( contactless card only) Gents was flooded due to leaking toilet bowl on flush. Expect better really.
Very nice refreshment kiosk with good selection of drinks and snacks. Enjoyed cheese & onion pasties!
From the start of the walk up as far as Ilam rock ( approx half way to Milldale) we never spotted a single piece of discarded rubbish. A fantastic clean up job by staff?
The main feature, the stepping stones, is about a ten minute flat walk from the car park. No crowds for us and no waiting at all. Further up the valley there are some steep areas with long uphill steps and some tricky areas to negotiate in damp conditions. Fine if care taken.
Annoying that some dog owners find it ok to ignore the multitude of “dogs must be kept on leads” signs.
Overall, a very nice walk, despite partially bad weather.
Following day did the other half from Milldale to Ilam Rock, equally clean, and again relatively few people about, mostly middle aged/ older couples who mostly all exchanged a greeting.
My recommendation is if you can, go early, mid-week in term time!

翻译：事先阅读那些负面评价确实会让人望而却步。不过我们的实际体验与近期的差评并不相符。
具体情况是：我们在9月的一个周一上午10点左右到访，当时天气状况不佳。我们是国家信托基金的会员，因此能免费停车这点很贴心。使用洗手间需支付50便士的费用（仅支持非接触式银行卡支付）。男洗手间因为马桶漏水而积水严重。实在希望这里能维护得更好些。
不过，那里的饮料与小食种类丰富，餐饮亭的环境也很不错。很喜欢奶酪洋葱馅饼！
从开始步行起，一直到伊拉姆岩（大约走到前往米尔代尔的一半路程处），我们连一片被丢弃的垃圾都没见到。肯定是工作人员做了出色的清理工作吧？
主要景点——那些踏脚石，从停车场出发只需步行约十分钟即可到达，路况平坦。我们没遇到任何人潮，也完全不用排队等候。再往山谷深处走，有一些较为陡峭的路段，有长长的上坡台阶；在潮湿天气下也有一些较难行走的地段。只要小心些，就没问题。有些狗主人完全无视那些“狗必须拴上牵引绳”的提示牌，真是令人恼火。
总的来说，尽管天气有些糟糕，但这仍是一次非常不错的散步体验。
第二天，我又走了从米尔代尔到伊拉姆岩的那段路，沿途同样干净整洁，人也相对较少，大多是中老年情侣，他们大多都会互相打招呼。
我的建议是：如果可以的话，尽量在学期中的工作日早点去吧！
