- A 8 and half mile circular walk starting at Magpie mine, going through the beautiful Derbyshire village of Ashford In The Water, up towards Monsal Head where you will get an amazing view on the viaduct below. You then follow a path through the woodland until reaching the Monsal weir, where you can go for a swim if you want to, before continuing through the valley, up through the village of Sheldon and back across fields to where you started at Magpie Mine.
There are a few decent hills on this route but you do get some beautiful views for the work. There are pubs in Ashford, another at Monsal Head and at Sheldon if you wanted to stop for food or drinks on the way round to make a day of it.
I parked in the lay-by just outside Magpie mine and although its not massive, I have never struggled to park here. Other places you can park are at Great Longstone (near Monsal Head Hotel) White Lodge car park, just off the A6 or on street parking in the villages of Ashford in the water and Sheldon, although this may be limited.
Nice long video, that's a good testing circular walk, beautiful scenery, Ashford is a nice village, Monsal dale looks amazing, I think the bird of prey was a buzzard, fabulous video, very enjoyable thanks 👍😊
Thankyou so much. It’s a beautiful walk this one. Oooh Thankyou.. I am pretty clueless with birds, do like seeing them though ☺️
That was very good doing durham and a round about good video hope to see more of your videos but stay safe and stay healthy one life enjoy blessed be
Thankyouuu
Been out today and followed your walk (nearly). Great walk over the White Peak. The water pouring down the path just after crossing the A6 was something else today - wet feet. Thanks for the inspiring video.
Ahhhh I can imagine.. like a real stream scramble isn’t it .. bet that hill warmed you and your feet back up though 😝
hello new friend from Hunza valley ...Haven on Earth❤
Hi friend 😁
Great vid, looks like a good hike 😁
I agree with the boots comments, cleaning them ...... 😂
It’s a great hike.. haha.. long isn’t it 🤣
Thanks for a great video 🙂. I recently followed some of the same paths you were on and didn't see a soul! They don't know what they're missing!
That’s fine they can leave it to us 😜
Another enjoyable video .
Thankyouuu

Lovely hike. Monsal is a special place. Currently in Bowness … enjoying calm after the storms! Thanks for taking us along today.
Glad you liked it. Enjoy Bowness ☺️
Hiya Charlotte, think I'll have to do this circular soon. It looks like there is nobody around now too, so when i get round to it (maybe mid November) I think it'll be dead - my kinda walk - no people lol. Thanks matey, nice video. Lee
Yes I was surprised with how few people I passed actually, but the majority definitely stick to the monsal trail and between the viaduct and weir. A varied and very beautiful walk. You’ll love it 😊
Om top of the hill you have a very beautiful view. You take us with You on a great trip. Thanks for sharing Char. Greetings from me Harm
Yes a beautiful view. Thankyou for coming with me 🙃
Nice little vid Char, deep Dale is somewhere I have driven past many times on my visits to the Peaks, but I've never actually had a hike around. Looks great. Cheers for sharing 🤟🏻❤️
You’re very welcome.. well maybe one day you can explore it a little too ☺️
I'M A FAN BOY..LOL LET ME KNOW THE NEXT TIME YOU HIT BUXTON, OOO sorry about the shouting
Hey Char,
a great tour and certainly also one of my favorites. Were the buildings an old farm at the very beginning? Did I understand that correctly? 🤔 The river looked great and with less water certainly well suited for swimming. Thanks for the tour! 🤗
Heyy.. at the very beginning it was the mine.. it did look like an old farmhouse with it, but I think probably for workers of the mine?! I’m only guessing though. Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Great walk over part of the Peak that I don't get to much. Inspired to get down to this area of the Peak District. Wonder how wet this was after the recent storm. Thank. for the video.
This was filmed the day before we got all the heavy rain, and I believe Ashford in the water was quite bad the day after 🌊 🥲
Hi Char. I love it at Magpie Mine, it's a great spot for photography. @stevieboy750
It’s a great spot isn’t it ☺️
@@barefoot_ventures Absolutely my friend, it is delish.
Was trying to share some photos I took on a cold frosty night at Magpie,. White grass and the buildings light with touch. even caught a star trail from Elon Husk
Beautiful isn’t it.. I watched the northern lights from here a couple of weeks ago. 🤩
Its Sunday night and you haven't posted, most unusual. I hope everything is alright.
Ahhhh Thankyou for noticing, and asking. No I haven’t managed to film anything.. getting a little bit behind now. I’ll be back on it before you know it 🥰
Whew, I was getting VERY concerned by Weds night!!! Glad all is well. It just isn't a Sunday without a roast and your new video!@@barefoot_ventures
NOW you have me really worried! Its Wednesday night and no post thus far. Covid is rampant where I live, sure hope that hasn't struck you.
Weir , not waterfall !
Bet you knew what I was talking about though didn’t you. Sorry I’m not as perfect as you 😉 the description says weir.. I might say waterfall.. no1s offended are they.. maybe just you. Apologies.
Sorry if my comment was harsh . I envy your fitness getting up those hills , I am no longer able to ! You may be interested in researching the Magpie Mine drainage sough , which burst out of the hillside near Ashford in the Water some years ago and nearly flooded Bakewell . The scar can still be seen above the river .@@barefoot_ventures
Just please don't buy a drone ❤
If I want one, I’ll get one 🙄
