A truly 'bucket list' route taking in some of the Peak District's most iconic views. This approx 8.5 mile route makes an accessible start on well surfaced and largely level trails. This section is waterside and passes close by the Ladybower dam and plughole. A steep ascent is made through the woods to emerge on the moors. There are expansive views across to Hope, Peveril Castle and Mam Tor. The route offers limited canter opportunities before descending once more onto country lanes to conclude the circuit.
Worth noting:
Due to the small car park, group ride places will be limited to 4, unless transport is shared. Please message if you are sharing, but there are less places listed than you need.
Going is at times rocky and uneven, both up and down hill, with some steep gradients.
Some tracks have an unfenced drop to one side.
There is one very narrow gateway.
It is likely that walkers and cyclists will be encountered on multi-user trail sections.
Trails are hardcore finished and may be stony.
Livestock may be present both on and alongside the route.
There is a small amount of roadwork on usually quiet country lanes, but the final connection to the car park can be quite busy.
All riders must have their own Public Liability Insurance. Under 18s are welcome, but on the first visit must be accompanied on the ride by an adult rider. Places are £45 and can be booked using the 'find tickets' button. Please message with any questions.
