Overview

From Monsal Head we take the footpath to Little Longstone before walking field paths to Great Longstone and beyond. We join the Monsal Trail for a short while before cutting off Southwards up and over into Bakewell. We ascend past the Church to head off across country to Sheldon before dropping down through woods to cross the busy A6 into Monsall Dale which we follow back up to Monsal Head.
