1. Step 1: We began this walk at Rails Road but it’s also possible to do the walk from the other end of the trail, just begin at Malin Bridge! It’s an easy going & easy to follow route.

   Step 2: The car park on Rails Road is the site of the old Rivelin Corn Mill, the only mill on the trail not for producing metal
