Magpie Mine Walk
Todays walk started and ended at the Monsal Head Car Park. Great views from the little picnic spot at the car park itself. Then it was a short walk to Monsal Head itself. I chose to take on this walk anti-clockwise so it placed me in Bakewell for lunchtime.
So from Monsal Head, I headed down to Monsal Weir and subsequently through Monsal Dale, a pretty little start to the walk. A steep incline came as I headed out of Monsal Dale and diverted in the direction of Magpie Mine. A fantastic little bit of history here and a spot which I spent quite a lot of time exploring.
As I left Magpie Mine, I headed towards Ashford-in-the-Water, a pretty little place beside the river and always a photo opportunity. Then it was on to Bakewell, where, as I mentioned, I popped in to the chippy to grab some lunch. From there it was a simple plod back for an hour along the Monsal Trail and through Headstone Tunnel, which, once out the other end it was a brief climb back out to where I started.

And lastly, I'm in no way paid for my videos, I make them purely for my own memories and hopefully to inspire family, friends and you guys to get out and enjoy our beautiful countryside. I'm no pro but I do enjoy the challenge of putting videos together. Critique is welcomed, criticism is not. If you enjoy my content, why not buy me a drink via https://www.buymeacoffee.com/PipesHikes
