HOPTON INCLINE
The 'Hopton Incline' was a very steep section of a mineral railway in England worked by adhesion. Its gradient was 1 in 14 (7%).
The incline was part of the Cromford and High Peak Railway, which closed in 1967. The small village of Hopton is about a mile to the south.
The incline (as most of the rest of the CHPR) is open to walkers and cyclists as part of the High Peak Trail. Recently, it was also designated as part of the Pennine Bridleway.
