Day four of the mini railways expedition and the Monsal Trail runs along the former Midland Railway line for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill, in Chee Dale and Coombs Road, at Bakewell.
Monsal Trail…
The trail has been nicely restored and offers one of the most spectacular leisure routes in Britain for cycling, walking and horse riding.
All of the tunnels have been repaired and the longer ones have lighting present.
Blackwell Mill…
It was a wet and miserable day for weather but we completed the 17 miles round trip, having a picnic at the halfway point.
