    Hiking

    The Cromford and High Peak railway was opened in 1831 and closed in 1967. It was built to carry the minerals and stone extracted from the various quarries of the high peak. The trains ran from Whaley Bridge down to Cromford where they could be unloaded onto the Cromford Canal which later linked with the main railway.
    The High Peak Trail, Midshires Way and Pennine Bridleway all use the old railway route at this point crossing the old bridge.
