Dovedale 's stepping stones were first laid in about 1890 for Victorian tourists.

But in recent years , the beauty spot has been plagued by bad weather and safety issues.

Last year the stones were officially closed after they were badly damaged by Storm Babet .

A bridge a few hundred metres downstream provides a safe route across the river, but crowds continue to cross the stones.

National Trust said Dovedale was "understandably one of the Peak District's most popular locations" due to its "beautiful scenery", but said the "downside" was that it brought a "litter problem" Darren Walker , from Stoke-on-Trent, described the rubbish left behind as "disgusting".
