Story & Experience
Walking the Monsal trail by the Wye river in the Derbyshire Peak country. This river has had many uses including feeding the cotton mills in the nineteenth century. Many many people and their dogs now walk the trail enjoying the beautiful river and wild flower meadows. On 17 June 2017 sitting beside it I felt a need to honour and protect its waters.
