Monsal Trail

On the 7th October we went on a short walk along the Monsal trail.

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.The trail runs along the former Midland Railway line for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill, in Chee Dale and Coombs Road, at Bakewell.

We joined at Hassop Station…a nice cafe and parking. As we had a newborn baby and a toddler with us we only walked a couple miles, however it took a while with a few detours to collect leaves for a mask making project back at home and lots stops to talk to dogs and let bike riders pass.

Although it was a bit grey and damp it was a lovely early Autumn walk.
