This is worth stopping and visiting on the monsal trail They are super friendly and helpful, really great service and knowledgeable about all sorts of things ! A great local resource

Stopped by at the cafe, great place, really friendly and super helpful. Very highly recommended to all.

Our family with sons aged.16 and 12 all loved this experience. The staff at Blackwell Mill were incredibly welcoming and friendly and could not have helped more. We hired two adult bikes as the boys had brought their own but they were happy to pump up the boys tyres and lend us extra locks at no extra cost. [...]

We booked two bikes in advance, one of them being electric. The location is very easy to find. The parking fee is 4.75 for the entire day and you have to walk like 20 minutes, but the forest and the river are pretty nice and are worth the walk. We've been welcomed by the owner and after we [...]

We arrived without having booked first, I would have tried the electric bikes but they are very popular so they recommend to book in advance, better to just book generally really. Staff so friendly, and Dave their dog greeted everyone who came in ! Lots of useful info given to us before we set off, bikes were a [...]

Booked a bike a few hours before arrival, filled out a form and was on my way in a matter of minutes. Really cheap price for the whole day, came with a helmet and padlock. Came back before closing time, but due to a misunderstanding the cycle hire was closed. The owner came up from his house nearby [...]

The team couldn't have been more helpful including the suggestion of hiring an electric bike after mentioning I had an artificial hip !!! The trail was awesome and we stopped for coffee and cake at Millers Dale and lunch at [...]

We had a perfect day cycling last week on the Monsal trail with two groups of 20 Year 7 students. This was part of an end of term residential experience that we had set up in and around the Buxton area. Blackwell Mill Cycle Hire were great from the initial booking to the day itself. They offered a [...]

Easy to reserve bikes by phone and a warm, friendly team ensuring you're all set up with the correct sized bikes. Comfy bike seats too- no sore bottoms!! Perfectly located right at the one end of The Monsal Trail so you can cycle all the way down and back. Fantastic pitstops along the way: we enjoyed hot chocolates [...]

The staff were very helpful and informative, the equipment was excellent and well prepared, and the trail itself was perfect. Will be visiting again!
