This unusual route began as a link between canals east and west of the Pennine Peaks, which were too high for boats. It only ever carried goods regularly, due to the steep gradients and cable-worked inclines. Herein are answers to the trail walker’s many questions.
Reviews:
'Middleton Press's latest picture book (they are currently appearing at a prolific rate) takes us to every Cromford & High Peak Railway location between the exchange sidings at High Peak Junction at the southern end to Whaley Bridge...
Much of the CHPR alignment now forms the High Peak Trail, and Middleton Incline Engine House has also been preserved. If you go there - and you won't regret it - make sure you take this book with you.'
