"The Monsal Trail is a traffic free route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and wheelchair users through some of the Peak District's most spectacular limestone dales." Don't take our word for it; that's a quote from the Peak District official website.

Trail that runs through Wormhill. Lots of easy or more difficult walks and biking.

Cycle or walk along the Monsal trail which was once a railway line. Tunnels and viaducts with amazing views. Starts just outside Buxton.

Bakewell is at the end of a fantastic 8.5-mile walking and cycling trail on the route of the old Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway. The line was founded in 1863 to create a rail link between Manchester and London, and was shut down in 1968. The route ends, or starts, just east of Bakewell at Coombs Road, and what makes it such a treat is the amount of railway architecture to be found on the route. You’ll ride or walk past former stations, over viaducts and through six tunnels, four of which are so long they have to be lit during the daylight hours. The Headstone Viaduct is a real highlight, spanning one of the most beautiful dales in the Peak District.
