#MonsalTrail #PeakDistrict #Derbyshire
The Monsal Trail is a cycling, horse riding and walking trail in the Derbyshire Peak District. It was constructed from a section of the former Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands junction railway, built by the Midland Railway in 1863 to link Manchester with London, which closed in 1968. The Monsal Trail is about 8.5 miles in length and opened in 1981. It starts at the Topley Pike junction in Wye Dale, three miles East of Buxton, and runs to Coombs Viaduct, one mile South-East of Bakewell. It follows the valley of the river Wye. The trail passes through Blackwell Mill, Millets Dale, Cressbrook, Monsal Dale, Hassop and Bakewell. The trail has numerous landmarks including 19th century line kilns, Headstone Viaduct, Cressbrook Mill, Litton Mill and Hassop railway station, and passes through six tunnels.
