The Peak District has a number of
disused railway trails, now used by walkers and cyclists alike.
With the closure of the Cromford and High Peak Railway, the Ashbourne
to Parsley Hay line and the Monsal Dale Line, the opportunity
arose for the National Park Authority to convert these to scenic
walkways with cycle hire on the first two lines. They are now
known as the High Peak Trail, the Tissington Trail and the Monsal
Trail respectively. Here, miles of traffic free countryside can
be enjoyed, most of it reasonablylevel for cycling.
