Explore the White Peak

The Monsal Trail is perfect for families with young children, or for a gentle stroll or cycle ride. But as a walking route, it can be a bit boring. The good news is that there are many fine walks that either start from the trail, or cross it at some point. And it’s these that I’m featuring on this website.
They range between 2 – 15 miles, and pass through some gloriously picturesque dales, valleys and riverside paths. Some of them involve steepish slopes, but this is the White Peak, as opposed to the bleak landscape of the Dark Peak. So even the longest walks shouldn’t present any problems if you’re relatively fit and healthy.
