Monsal Trail: Bakewell to Blackwell Mill
Ride · 8 miles · 1h 15m · 10 stops
The Peak District's rail trail: viaducts, lit tunnels and limestone dales from Bakewell to Blackwell Mill. Flat, traffic-free and family-friendly.
The old Midland Railway line through the White Peak, now a traffic-free trail crossing the Headstone Viaduct and diving through four lit tunnels. Dead flat the whole way, which makes it the Peak District's best family ride; hire bikes at Hassop or Blackwell Mill and do it out and back.
