Οι καλύτερες διαδρομές ποδηλασίας δρόμου Rowsley

Many places along the back lanes to get a lovely view of Parkhouse House and Chrome Hills.

Watch some of the descents in this area during wet or icy weather.

Can get busy but good for a pit stop en route

A long climb with some steeper sections. It's a busy road so go early or out of rush hour, especially if you want to avoid the quarry lorries

Killer climb

One of the best climbs in Derbyshire in my opinion - its scale, mix of gradients and picturesque quality elevate it (pun intended) from a mere hill. There are two crux sections - one right at the start than will strip away any momentum you've built as you swing into the bottom section from Via Gellia, and one much higher up as you pass between the last houses. Between these is a long, winding and drawn-out climb through the distinctly linear and oh-so-pretty village of Bonsall, passing tempting pubs, a village green, and in summer many bemused tourists (and knowing locals). Once clear of the village though the struggle continues - the climb goes on through open country past a farm until you are on top of the world. The surface is largely good if bumpy, although in poor weather running water spills onto the roadway.

Saved me in bad weather, friendly and warm

Brutal but worth it
