High Peak Junction was where the Old Comford and High Peak railway met the Cromford Canal. It is now a great spot to take a break with a shop that sells hot drinks and snacks.

This is the junction where the Cromford canal meets the High Peak Trail. There’s a small shop, a museum and toilets. It’s a great place to start either a hike or a bike ride.
