Monsal Trail

A disused railway converted to a track for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and less active people, including those in wheelchairs. It runs for 8.5 miles between Topley Pike, near Buxton, and Coombs viaduct, a mile south-east of Bakewell. Where tunnels are closed, alternative paths are available, although these are not suitable for disabled people.

Car parks are provided at former stations at Bakewell and Millers Dale, both of which give level access onto the trail.

The section from Bakewell to Little Longstone is suitable for cyclists and horse riders.

Access for disabled people is available at Bakewell Station, either south for one mile or north to the closed Headstone Tunnel near Little Longstone, a distance of about 3.5 miles.

Level access is also available from Millers Dale Station, either for half a mile west or 2 miles east.
