Default adverbial clause

Dear teachers,

Please read the following sentence:

We went along a dirt road that led down into a valley, about a mile out of town, where there was a pond.

The textbook explained that 'where there was a pond is an adverbial clause of place'. I don't think so. I think it should be an attributive clause modifying 'valley'. Is that right?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thank you in advance.

Jiang
