The Monsal Trail is a traffic-free route that runs for 8.5 miles (13.7 km) between Blackwell Mill and Bakewell. The compacted gravel trail winds through picturesque limestone dales and long tunnels. A particular highlight is the Headstone Tunnel leading to Headstone Viaduct, where breathtaking views await.

The trail follows a section of the former Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway, which was built in 1863 to link Manchester with London. The line was closed in 1968 and remained unused for 12 years before being taken over by the Peak District National Park and transformed into a recreational route.

Interesting route and very suitable for families as completely traffic free and relatively flat. Used to be an old railway line, so the gradients are very gentle. The compacted gravel surface is suitable for all bikes, too.

The tunnels on the old railway have been reopened and are lit so you can now walk or cycle through them. Bike lights aren't necessary but might be useful to stop other cyclists crashing into you!

An excellent asset of the local cycling community to have this dedicated off-road cycle trail - even more exciting with the lit tunnels through the hillside and open viaducts to scale.
