Embark on the Monsal Trail and Ashford-in-the-Water Circular, a moderate hiking route that guides you through the scenic limestone dales of the Peak District. This 6.3-mile (10.1 km) journey, with an elevation gain of 396 feet (121 metres), takes approximately 2 hours and 41 minutes to complete. You will experience a blend of accessible railway path and varied natural landscapes, passing through atmospheric, lit railway tunnels and crossing the impressive Headstone Viaduct with its sweeping views over Monsal Dale. The route also leads you into the charming village of Ashford-in-the-Water, known for its ancient packhorse bridge.
While the Monsal Trail section is largely gentle and flat, be prepared for steeper ascents and descents as you explore the woodlands and fields around Ashford-in-the-Water. This circular route is generally accessible, but some parts require more effort. Parking is conveniently available at various points along the Monsal Trail, including Hassop Station, which also provides amenities like a café and cycle hire.
This hike offers a diverse experience, combining the historical railway path with the natural beauty of the River Wye valley. You will traverse picturesque dales and encounter the impressive engineering of the railway tunnels, which are well-lit for your passage. The route's blend of easy-going sections and more challenging terrain makes it a rewarding choice for many hikers seeking both history and natural splendor.
