A good mile or so inside Derbyshire I'd guess looking at a map. Why?

Debating it at work. I say Staffordshire. The Izaak Walton hotel, it's addressed as Staffordshire. I just think we claim it but it's actually on the Stafford side of the river.

I've dragged out the Derbyshire street atlas - you are correct the River Dove forms the border. Google earth doesn't make it clear which side of the river the car park is on though. If I had to guess I'd say it's to the West in a crook of the river bend.

Dovedale is in Derbyshire therefore by default the car park is in Derbyshire

Sorry, Dovedale is in both Staffordshire and Derbyshire both counties being separated by the river Dove. West of the river = Staffordshire, East = Derbyshire. Therefore the car park is in Staffordshire. I won the bet at work :-)

My money is almost certainly Staffs.
The old chap who owned the land years ago used to sit there taking the money even when the car park was full.
