What fun! What scenery! What tunnels! You could not ask for more! Bikes hired from Blackwell Mill on the Monsal Trail. An electric one for me and a standard bike for him! We had so much fun for oldies! The bike man certainly knew his business. Highly recommended. And market day in Bakewell a bonus Pam & Phil [...]

We had a most enjoyable day cycling 8 miles to Bakewell,and back. The path was great with beautiful scenery. The cycle hire staff were ready with our appropriately sized bikes on arrival. We had a puncture and they attended to us Quickly. On returning some of our party were inexperienced cyclists and were a little late back to [...]

Friendly, knowledgeable staff, good quality bikes and a fantastic cycle trail. The walk from the car park takes around 10-15 which means it makes sense to buy all day parking if cycling the whole trail. AdamH256

Lovely walk along the river from the car park. Super friendly owners, set the bikes up ready for when we arrived so we were all set to go. Also hired a blast trailer for our three year old and he absolutely loved it. Bikes well maintained and locks, map and helmets provided. Great day had by all Thanks [...]

My son is absolutely train mad so we knew we had to take him on The Monsal Trail while we were on holiday. We chose Blackwell Mill to hire bikes from as it’s a set price for the whole day which was perfect as we weren’t sure how long it would take 2 children and their unfit parents [...]

We stayed locally and wanted to do some cycling during our Spring break. Blackwell Mill cycle hire were the best price on the Monsal trail. Starting the opposite end of this cycle frail along the old railway track. The gradients are gentle and Bakewell is around 1 1/2 hours. Which makes a good halfway house. We did this [...]

We booked the bikes via the phone the day before and when we arrived on the Saturday morning they were out waiting for us. We filled in the hire form and paid our money straight away, we were offered helmets but [...]
