    This track is at its best in mid spring when the May is out - it's beautiful with all the blackthorn in bloom - find a sunny day and head down from East to West.

    Embark on the Tissington Trail and Carsington Water Loop for a touring cycling adventure that blends historic railway paths with scenic reservoir views. This moderate route covers 21.2 miles (34.1 km) with an elevation gain of 1399 feet (426 metres), typically taking around 2 hours and 25 minutes to complete. You will experience the gentle, well-surfaced Tissington Trail, offering expansive views of the White Peak countryside, before transitioning to the more undulating paths around Carsington Water, where you can enjoy lovely waterside vistas and perhaps spot some wildlife.

    Planning your visit is straightforward, as the route is well-equipped with amenities. You will find cycle hire facilities, cafes, and pubs conveniently located along the way, perfect for a break or refreshment. Parking is generally available at various access points, making it easy to start your ride. This loop is ideal for a day trip, offering a balanced mix of easy riding and some more challenging sections, especially around the reservoir.

    This trail stands out for its unique combination of two distinct cycling environments within the Peak District National Park. The Tissington Trail follows a disused railway line, providing a smooth, relatively flat experience, while the Carsington Water section offers a different character with its varied gradients and natural beauty. Keep an eye out for bird hides and wooden sculptures as you cycle around the reservoir, adding to the charm of this diverse touring cycling route.
