Ashford in the Water, Bakewell, and Edensor

Before I started today's walk I had forty minutes to spare in Bakewell and so took some photographs before going to the bus stop on Buxton Road to catch the bus to Ashford in the Water.










I explored the village, although this really isn't the best word to use since I know Ashford well.








I headed out along the road that goes to the north; after a few hundred yards there's a path that goes to Churchdale Hall and Churchdale Farm; the last time I tried to take this route I couldn't find the path and ended going up to Thornbridge Hall. Yesterday I looked at the images on Google Streetview so that I'd be prepared and know exactly where to look for it. When I got there I noticed that a new footpath sign has been erected.










I then walked along the Monsal Trail for about half a mile before finding the path that leads to Bakewell. At Bakewell I didn't go to the town centre, I walked up to the old railway station and then continued going uphill using the road and then taking the track down into Edensor. Edensor is a beautiful village but I didn't have much time today to take photographs.
