Background
History
There was once a corn mill on the River Wye which may have dated from at least 1066. Most of it has disappeared, apart from the weir; the remains are marked as an Ancient Monument. In times past, the Manchester Turnpike forded the river.
Description
Today, Blackwell Mill marks the northern end of the Monsal Trail, a shared-use path from Bakewell, which follows the former trackbed of the Midland Railway.
