Great Shacklow Woods and the Monsal Trail

Meeting in the P & D car park at Monsal Head we are also able to park FOC on the adjacent lane into Little Longstone.

We start the walk by heading first to Ashford in the Water and then through Shacklow Woods and Deepdale towards Taddington where a pub stop is possible before heading towards Millers Dale and the Monsal Trail to take us back to the start.

Please take LOTS of pictures and upload them to this Meetup page so everyone can see how much fun you had.

Dogs are welcome as long as not constantly barking and jumping up. Owners must keep dogs under control at all times and place on a lead when near farm animals or signs tell us to do so.

Bring snacks, fluids and a lunch packup. Waterproofs would be a good idea too.

Lift sharing is strongly encouraged, just leave a message below if offering or asking for a lift.

Please plenty of time for parking and kitting up just in case and share transport if you can.

We do not wait for latecomers!
