Monsal HeadMonsal Head, standing high above the dale, affords the best viewpoint for admiring Monsal Dale, through which the River Wye flows. The view is spectacular, with the river far below, winding through a steep-sided valley with many rocky outcrops. It forms part of the Monsal Trail, a popular route with walkers at weekends. The viaduct here is now an accepted feature of the landscape, but when the railway was built in the 1870s, John Ruskin campaigned against the damage done to this unique environment, simply “so that any fool from Bakewell can be in Buxton by lunchtime”. |
