    Cycling

    Start on Buxton Road and drop into fast big ruts, shallow water crossings and fun step downs. Totally worth the climb to the top

    Cycling

    The Cumberland Clough descent is used by Motocross bikes and is very churned up most of the year. For a very competent gravel biker/MTB it is possible to ride but much better suited to full sus (or at least some suspension) due to large loose rocks, and often went slippery surfaces.
