Route Notes

The walk begins with easy field paths and sections along the Monsal Trail, including a short tunnel (approx. 0.5 km).
We’ll then ascend through woodland — steep in parts with exposed roots — before reaching the viewpoint at Monsal Head.
Expect some uneven and muddy terrain, particularly in Monsal Dale.
The descent follows a disused lane with loose rock back into Ashford-in-the-Water, famous for its ducks and riverside charm.
