Walk Description:

Starting at Hassop Station Café, it is a large former railway station in a rural setting on the B6002 near Bakewell & Chatsworth. Originally on the Derby to Manchester mainline between Bakewell & Great Longstone stations.

It was the station for Baslow and one of the three stations for Chatsworth, the home of the Duke of Devonshire, the others being Rowsley & Bakewell. Closed to goods traffic in 1964 and now a café.

Here we have the option of having breakfast before we start - please inform June Holden. 

An easy start along the trail towards Bakewell past Holme Hall which is a grade 1 listed privately owned Jacobean Manor.  Along the river to the delightful Ashford in the Water and onto Monsal Head, with quite magnificent views of the Monsal Dale valley and another opportunity for a coffee stop.

Heading back via Great Longstone to Hassop station where we are all welcome to stay for a bite to eat.
