Two small easilly missed plaques in Dovedale commemorate the work done by RA Holmes and his son to acquire the dale for the National Trust.
Two plaques set into the limestone walls of Dove Dale in the Derbyshire Peak district commemorate the work done by a father and his son to protect the land around Dove Dale and the River Dove. The land became the property of the National Trust and thus access for all was achieved. The plaques are very unassuming and are easy to miss. What is shown in this image is the only information readilly available about these two men.
