January 8, 2025, Monsal Trail End – Bakewell via Coombs Road

Useful trail to lead to some great bridleways (eg south of Bakewell, Monsal Dale & Blackwell) and avoid the roads between trails. Generally busier between 10am and 4pm and very busy with walkers, dogs and families cycling on sunny weekends and bank holidays. Several tunnels, some quite long, with long ones lit from dusk til dawn.
