BEST CYCLE HIRE PRICES ON THE MONSAL TRAIL.
Electric Bikes now available to hire .
The Monsal trail is the disused Midland railway line that was closed in 1968 & then recently converted in 2010-2011 into a new cycle track, allowing people to cycle from Blackwell Mill, Nr. Buxton to Bakewell. The eight & half miles follows the river Wye & takes you through several newly opened lit tunnels, between magnificent steep gorges, surrounding limestone hills & across the spectacular Monsal Dale viaduct making this an exceptional cycling experience.
Discover along the way the stepping stones & natural springs, lime-kilns & the old station at Millers Dale built in 1863 where the hustle & bustle of the past are but a distant memory. Spot the cotton mills of Litton & Cressbrook built in the 18th century, here the force of the river Wye was used to power the waterwheels of the mills.Stop & look down to see the waterfall at water Cum-Jolly, unseen from this view point for over forty years. Cycle on to Hassop Station, where you can enjoy a welcome break at the book store & restaurant.
