If you are in reasonably easy #rail travel distance of #Derby, there is a local line that goes up the #Derwent Valley (#UNESCO World Heritage Site) between Derby and Matlock with a decent service and all stations offering good walking right off the platform.

The station at #Whatstandwell (yes, it is a place) backs straight onto the #Cromford #Canal, a 6 mile strech of isolated remnant canal, from which you can either head SW towards #Ambergate, or NE to Cromford and the #historic mills. Lots of other interesting stuff along the route, including High Peak Junction, the western end of the High Peak Trail with it's famous Incline.

#Matlock and Matlock Bath are also good towns to walk around, as is #Belper at the southern end of the valley, again with more historic mills adjacent to the River Gardens

Good morning Mastodon to all you Mastondinians? Mastodontists? Mastodonites (what is the correct plural term!?)

Anyway, I took this photo a few years ago on a frosty #ChristmasEve morning a few years ago on a walk from #Matlock to #Ambergate in #Derbyshire
