A flat, easy-going cycle trail that is built on the old dam construction railway track. It's 2 miles (3 km) in length from the dam wall to the road that links up with Station Road in Bamford. It's suitable for all bikes but can get a bit muddy when it's wet. There are a couple of gates to open too.

This single track follows a former narrow gauge railway that was in use during the construction of Ladybower Reservoir. You might make slow progress on weekends and during the summer, as the trail is popular with walkers. The trail is short – 2 miles (3.2 km) – and ideal for all ages.

Great views looking towards Bamford edge and a nice cut through from the Yorkshire bridge to Bamford without going along the main road, or onto Hope through Thornhill, quiet lanes, big views :)
