Luckily we found the leaflet for the Monsal trail and the Blackwell Mill Cycle hire in the rented accommodation we were staying at in Whiston. We gave them a call and booked the bikes. It is a 15 minute walk from the car park to the cycle centre, down a beautiful trail by a crystal clear river. We were quickly sized for our bikes and set on our way. The staff here are so friendly and helpful. There are lots of stations to stop at for refreshments and the views on the trail are stunning. Its just brilliant riding a bike without having to negotiate any traffic! Highly recommended.
