It's a beautiful spot - but living there does have its drawbacks
With its rugged stone cottages, handsome old pubs, jaw-dropping countryside and a butchers which sells pork pies to die for, there really is not much to not like about the village of Greenfield. But living in such an attractive place has its drawbacks.
But Dovestones' popularity means the village struggles to cope with the influx of visitors. The reservoir car park often overflows, meaning visitors are left to park on side streets and outside homes - or, as is often the case, illegally on grass verges or double yellow lines. Police and traffic wardens occasionally patrol the area dishing out tickets to anyone caught parking illegally. But the gridlock has led to angry rows between villagers and visitors.
And it's not just the parking. One villager also told us of concerns about visitors risking moor fires by having barbecues and of dog walkers letting their pets off the lead and worrying the livestock. "If there’s four of them in the car they just think 'We'll pay the £60 fine'. Yes, it's for everyone but people just need to respect the countryside and the people who live here."
"But the parking and the access is the main thing. It's mental. They drive like d***heads, they park all along the lane. You couldn't get an ambulance up here if you needed one."
