Distance: 6 miles
Total ascent/descent:
We are going the opposite way to the last time we did
Bakewell in August 2009.
This time we ascend Station road and then turn left on to
the Monsal Trail which is an old railway line and enjoy a beautiful 2 ½ mile
stroll before descending past Thornbridge Hall into Ashford in the Water. We
return to Bakewell following the course of the river Wye.
Altogether a pleasant 6 mile round trip leaving plenty of
time to grab a Bakewell Tart and a drink of your choice.
Anyone wanting to do about 3miles can walk with the “C”
party as far as Hassop Old Station where there is a Country Bookstore and café
and then retrace your steps back into Bakewell
