The hidden corner of the Peak District

The Monsall trail and Monsall head is a perfect spot for all abilities of hikers and bikers in the Peak District. The flat 9 mile trail from Buxton to Bakewell is perfect for an easy bike ride (bike hire is available), especially considering many of the old train stations have been transformed in cafes and bars. For those looking for more of a challenge the surrounding hills provide that with fantastic views across the valley as a reward.
