Love-Lock Bridge over the River Wye, Bakewell

Highlight • Bridge

If you are visiting Bakewell with somebody special, be sure to write your initials, names, or message on a padlock, lock it to the bridge and throw the key into the River Wye as a gesture of your love. Lots of lovers have already and it is getting to be quite a tradition.

Rutland Works

Highlight • Monument

Rutland Works was a Marble-working mill in the Georgian and early Victorian era, and was then taken over and used as a saw mill.
The weir and mill race (still in existence), the mill, a house, a stable, and 3 workshops were in use by c.1847. The stone cutting machinery was removed in 1996.

Monsal Trail Stone Arch Bridge

Highlight • Cycleway

The Monsal Trail is a traffic-free trail for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and wheelchair users. A former railway line, the trail runs for 8.5 miles (13.7 km) between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale, and Coombs Road in Bakewell. The compacted gravel trail – which is relatively easygoing and is perfect for all ages and abilities – winds through some of the Peak District's most picturesque limestone dales and heads through characterful tunnels.

The trail follows a section of the former Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midlands Junction Railway, which was built in 1863 to link Manchester with London. The line was closed in 1968 and remained unused for 12 years before being taken over by the Peak District National Park.
