A towpath (also known as a towpath or towpath), which runs alongside the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could be propelled by motor power, horses walked along the bank and pulled the vessel against the current. This activity was called "treideln" in German, and that's how the towpath got its name. Where these paths – running directly along the bank – have survived to this day, they no longer serve their original purpose, but are still popular with hikers and cyclists.

A nice walk along the canal

The car park is free for National Trust members. I love climbing but I don't like heights....confusing I know! I really enjoyed this short climb but I found myself on a small scramble which got my blood pumping a little!

Car park isn’t free but costs £6.60 for the day or £4 for 4 hours

A really pretty and scenic stretch of canal with sparkling turquoise water. Amenities are available at High Peak Junction and Cromford Wharf.

This prominent rocky outcrop is an important crag in the world of climbing, and attracts rock climbers who appreciate a challenging route. It juts out from the hillside and forms a beautiful view of the valley below.

The original terminus of the Cromford Canal was the basin alongside the Gothic Warehouse, built soon after the canal was completed in 1794. Here coal was unloaded from pits further down the canal and limestone was loaded for export from local quarries. Many other goods were also shipped through the wharf. The second (‘Feeder’) arm was built around 1822 to serve local limestone quarries. A second warehouse was built alongside it and today this is Wheatcroft’s Wharf café. The area that is now the car park was once a large enclosed wharf made secure by a high surrounding wall (some of which can still be seen) and large entry gates from Mill Road. The two houses were built to accommodate wharf employees. Today one is a private residence and the other holiday accommodation.

Mountain bikes for sure and maybe the occasional gravel bike will be found atop the rocks, but likely not touring bikes. Just enjoy the view from the nice smooth gravel former railway track below.
