Some of these, like Shining Cliff Wood and Alport Height, are just outside the National Park boundary. The holdings, totalling some 3,600 acres (1,500 ha), are managed from Ilam Hall and those within the Park comprise:

Ilam Park, including Ilam Hall which is let to the Youth Hostel Association (YHA)
Dovedale from Thorpe Cloud to Wolfscote Dale and Biggin Dale
Wetton Hill and Wetton Mill
Ossam's Hill
Hamps Valley Woodlands (and Beeston Tor)
Grindon Moor
Alport Height (aka Alport Stone)
Alsop Moor
Stanton Moor Edge
Ravenstor YHA
Taddington Wood
High Weeldon
Winster Market House (the National Trust's first property in the Peak District, 1906)

Dovedale itself was acquired in 1934, and a string of acquisitions followed until 1938; Wolfscote Dale was acquired in 1948.
