Dove Holes in High Peak, Derbyshire, England sits on the western edge of the Peak District National Park, tucked into the limestone moorland of the Pennines. The village lies beside the A6 and is served by a station on the Manchester–Buxton line, giving it a mix of rural character and easy commuting links to Manchester and nearby towns.
