Wheels Through the Wye Valley: A Ride on the Monsal Trail

There’s something magical about riding a bike through the stillness of early morning — especially when the path winds through limestone cliffs, ancient tunnels, and the quiet beauty of the Peak District. In this video, I cycle the iconic Monsal Trail from Bakewell to Monsal Head, capturing the golden light spilling over the Wye Valley, the echo of wheels in the illuminated Headstone Tunnel, and the wild charm of the Derbyshire countryside.

From the restored arches of Cressbrook Dale to the breathtaking viewpoint at Monsal Head, this traffic-free trail is more than just a ride — it’s a journey through nature, history, and peace. Whether you're a cyclist, walker, or just in need of a digital escape into nature, come along for the ride.
