The High Peak Trail passes Minninglow as well as many other interesting sites. The former railway makes a nice comfortable walk or cycle ride!



The Trail is very flat - not for the ease of present-day travellers but because initially the rolling stock was pulled by horses. This picture shows one of the huge causeways built to carry the track over two valleys; built of dry-stone. The other one is the largest dry-stone building in Britain.



Minninglow is an ancient burial site with the best preserved chamber tombs in England. http://stokearchaeologysociety.org.u...nglow_gal.html
