About
This 3 mile trail follows the River Rivelin from Malin Bridge to the old Rivelin Corn Mill on Rails Road. The valley has remains of 20 watermills and 21 mill dams, and you may spot dippers, herons and kingfishers. Paths can be muddy, with steps and stepping stones on the upper section, so it is not suitable for mobility scooters.
