If you go up through Ashford-in-the-Water, and stay on that road, you come to a car park called Monsal Head. There's a bar and a lovely little cafe there, and the views over Monsaldale are spectacular.
There's a walk down from there, through the dale, over a disused railway viaduct, which has been tarmacced over, and the tunnel at the end has been lit. If you're into walking, it's one of the prettiest walks anywhere.
The Monsal Trail follows the line of the former Midland Railway between Bakewell and Buxton, which closed in 1968 and was subsequently bought by the National Park Authority and turned into a walking and cycling trail.
Alternatively, descend to the valley floor, and there is a charming walk along the Wye river, complete with a little waterfall
