MONSAL HEAD (hiking guide) Amazing route in The Peak District!

[@kattel641]

Did this walk a few years ago with family, when it was raining. The waterfall and scenery were stunning, even though it was wet. by the time we got through the tunnel the sun came out. The field you went across there were sheep and lambs in it. Love watching your videos

[@brokeyrs]

Just walked this route exactly as you showed in the video and oh my God was it worth it - thank you for this as I thought I was gna miss the viaduct on my visit 😊

This mate was awesome and so helpful. I’m from Kidsgrove so only around 40 minutes drive from the Peak District, it’s my go to for hikes. Nothing comes close to the beauty and tranquility for me. Had many trips out from when I was a kid,‘but we always stuck with the same places, Dovedale was like a second home 😂 I’m 50 now and last year decided I’d spend time visiting other places in the Peak District and I’ve been blown away by the whole place. So I’m spending time getting around it all slowly. This last old like a perfect little hike and as I’m heading that way today I’m going to stop by and do this. So cheers matey for this, I’d of never known about a lot of these amazing gems if it wasn’t for people like yourself so to me videos like this are a huge huge help. 😊

Thankyou for being so helpful 🎉 gives me a clear understanding of what's what ❤

Beautiful area. love England. I've visited twice from the USA. 1988 and then again in 2022. Seems like a place I would enjoy living, but it's not that simple to just go live in another country for us.

[@MarkF567]

Thank you. That was useful, knowing where to park, and then finding the path from the weir up to the viaduct. Then I had a good walk to Bakewell and back.

[@BrianMaiden-o9c]

Great vid Sam, as always mate!!

[@Samrculley]

Thanks matey!

[@ervinslens]

Another lovely episode man, place looks brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!

[@enndotkay]

Lovely walk - Saw this on your Instagram reels and my partner and I are going to do this on Saturday for our date day. Thanks Sam!

[@petercollins7848]

Brilliant video! Thanks! I have done a lot of this walk pre-Covid and it brought back memories. Can’t wait to get out to the Monsal Trail again, there are so many possible routes.

[@sandraphelan2004]

What a lovely little walk thanks for showing the route great video and view of the countryside thanks Sam 👍

[@JIMcLauchlan]

Cracking short route. Such a gorgeous part of the peaks so picturesque

[@ragnahowart641]

Although I visited England this summer (and loved every second of this stay) I never thought that it is obviously the country of waterfalls! 😮 So beautiful! I suppose I have to come back for some hiking. 😉 Thanks for your very good advices and brilliant impressions! 👍 Kind regards from Germany! 👋

[@jondeering]

Thank Sam. Stunning route. We extended it into Great Longstone for a pub lunch at the White Lion. Keep up the good work 👍

[@CharSpencer99x]

Lovely walk, thank you! Was great with a dog and we stopped for a picnic. Fab instructions 😊

[@gemmajohnson8675]

Thanks Sam did this today your directions are spot on, and the walk was fantastic!

[@pickman1uk]

Did the last week Great little route Sam perfect for our needs not to long but encapsulates the spirt of the Peak District.

[@Micky8791]

Great video. These inspire me to get out and do more in the peaks. 👍

[@charlotteallen9786]

This was great, really informative. Looking forward to trying it next week with my family. Thank you.

[@andygauci3130]

Hi Sam great video, we did your Cheedale today, fantastic. Thank you for your guidance, it was spot on. Regards Andy.

[@FteCoUk4x4]

I have just come across your channel and have subscribed, really enjoyed the video and will be catching up on some of your past videos.

[@alisonm26]

Love you videos Sam. I’m in Australia at the moment but you’ve wetted my appetite for my visit to the Peak next week. My first school holiday was to Hartington at the youth hostel. Took my parents on one of the walks we did which was linear (hadn’t considered that at the age of 9 🤦‍♀️) and when we got to the end they said ‘where now’. I said ‘I don’t know, we got the school bus back). Around we turned and walked all the way back. Think it was about a 7 mile walk in the end at Dovedale. The Peak and the Lake District both have my heart.

[@zoeheslop9125]

Been to the Monsal Trail so many times and never knew about the Weir so thanks very much. Shame the Packhorse Inn was closed, it's a lovely pub and does amazing food. Thank you 😊

[@victoria..9924]

Brilliant video!, enjoyed the explanations of parking and where to go etc. Would love to see some walks in Shropshire perhaps?

[@SarahChadwick-p3t]

I've just booked a few days in the Peak District based on your guides. I'm looking forward to trying some of the walks you've recommended - I'll add this one to the list.

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

I've been above there to hike to the Ethel but never done this one. It's definitely a beautiful hike, Sam. Thanks for sharing.

[@Steve.j.like2hike]

Really good like these videos Really informative 😊

[@IsabellaCartwright-zm1hk]

Thank you this helped us a lot!

[@stefanmorosan8057]

nice video...next stop for me...cheers!

[@stevethompson1958]

I love your videos brother. Thank you & God Bless 👍

[@Samrculley]

Thanks a lot matey!

[@volatis]

I was just walking in that area at the weekend as part of the Peak District ultra challenge. Would love to see more of the area around Bakewell as its great memories

[@05984905]

Did this walk today. Great little walk with so many different aspects to it.

[@Willdu87]

We’re up that way next week. Do you think it would be suitable for a buggy?

[@05984905]

@Willdu87 it's very narrow at the start so no unfortunately.

[@karensmith7788]

Never knew where the weir was, thanks for the route 😊

[@cr500dom9]

Nice video, thanks for sharing, came across you on social reels first, found you on here to subscribe. We've done the "Stepping stones" walk off Monsal Trail but will try this one and some of your others when we return to the peaks in August. Thanks for making the effort to share these. 👍

[@Samrculley]

Thanks a lot for watching and commenting! I appreciate it 🙏 enjoy when you do get round to doing it! Lovely little walk

[@LoopySnoopyFan]

Love your KZbin and Tiktok videos Sam. Did this circular yesterday and downloaded OSMaps from your link. Beautiful views ❤️. Nearly got scuppered by 7 cows waiting at the gate just after going over the bridge near the weir!! Only thing I'd say is that last incline before you got to the viaduct was far from easy for me (I'm a bit doddery but luckily had my poles)... Plus it was wet 😭. Overall a great day though so thank you 👍☺️

[@charlotteallen9786]

Were there cows along this route? Not sure my children would like that!

[@LoopySnoopyFan]

​@@charlotteallen9786sorry for the delay. They were across the bridge, just pass the weir. They were OK. We just gave them a wide berth

[@amme_1992]

Thank you for the video, will definitely be trying this one, next time I’m in Bakewell

[@Samrculley]

Enjoyyyy

[@codewithmartin]

Thanks for the route!

[@KhurshidsChannel]

Nice video. Thanks for sharing. 👍59

[@John...44...]

Would love it if you out these walks somewhere as maps so we can see where they are and then download them

[@patdunne3277]

Hi Sam just found your channel and immeadiatly subbed 👍

[@Samrculley]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@sallyhorn5379]

I love how informative the your videos are. This one looks like a great walk with our 10yr old who can currently tolerate 4-5 miles depending on the ease of it. We recently walked along Baslow edge, that was pretty steep. Iv subscribed and we will be giving this walk ago. Have you ever been to the Isle of Wight? It’s like being abroad ☺️

[@Samrculley]

Thanks for watching… This walk is perfect then… I have been there for a short holiday but didn’t do much hiking! Are there lots of routes ?

[@sallyhorn5379]

⁠​⁠@@Samrculleyi think there are quite a few. We haven’t tried any yet but my dad lives there and we’re planning to find some coastal routes when we go in a few weeks especially if it’s not beach weather. I’ll have to let you know what we find. 🙂

[@adebayosmagic]

5:47 - ez top 10 moment in Sam Culley videos ✅

[@Samrculley]

😂😂🥾🥾

[@chrisbentleywalkingandrambling]

If you are after ideas, then the Dambusters Hike would be a great one. On a personal note, the thing I would like, if possible, is a link to a gpx for your hikes. Just an idea.

[@Samrculley]

Great shout I will actually do that now 👍

[@Samrculley]

I’ve managed to link the route on OS maps in the Description, can’t seem to link the Gpx file it won’t go on 😅

[@kateclerkin6380]

Is there as OS link for this walk?

[@ralphradford8633]

Do the walk again when you know that the Packhorse will be open, Great ale and food, not your normal pub experience.

[@Willdu87]

Hi Sam. Found this via instagram. Do you think this route would be suitable for a kid in a buggy?

[@pickman1uk]

Hi did Sam’s route last week unfortunately I think the first bit is a bit impassable to a buggy as it gets quite steep and narrow in places. If you could carry it for that section you would be fine that’s what I saw one couple doing

[@anthonyheath7549]

Via means way . Probably Roman in origin.

[@petercollins7848]

You are right - it is!

[@An_inquisitive_thinker]

Funny how those phone booths stood empty for years but after CV19 saga they started fitting them with defibrillators. I think I know why. 💉💔 🤔
