Sett Valley Trail

Sett Valley Trail

The Sett Valley Trail is a 2.5-mile cycle- and bridleway linking the village of Hayfield and the town of New Mills in Derbyshire, England. It runs parallel to the River Sett and follows the trackbed of a former branch railway line from New Mills Central station to Hayfield, which opened in 1868 and closed in 1970. The line was purchased from British Rail by Derbyshire County Council in 1973. The station buildings at Hayfield were demolished in 1975, and an information centre, picnic area, car park and toilets built on the site. The Pennine Bridleway follows the section of the Trail between Hayfield and Birch Vale.
