Walk description

This short walk of just over three miles starts from Wyedale car park, which is beside the A6 to Bakewell, about 3 miles from Buxton. It reaches the Monsal Trail at Blackwell Mill, along a picturesque, tree-lined lane which runs alongside the River Wye.

From Blackwell Mill it’s very much a walk of two halves. The first continues beside the river on a narrow path that can get muddy in winter and after rain. The return is along the easy-going surface of the Monsal Trail.

The walk crosses a fairly long set of stepping stones. These can appear a bit daunting when the river is running high and fast – which it often is after rain and in winter months. But the stones are evenly-spaced with flat surfaces and the rock face is within easy reach for a steadying hand.
