    Tips

    Road cycling

    A much gentler gradient than Monsal Head and a more enjoyable climb/descent.

    Road cycling

    Probably the best road in the Peak District, going up or down. There are bigger climbs, longer climbs, harder climbs, and wider views elsewhere, but this road gives you a bit of everything - woodlands, a rocky canyon, grasslands, fields, and narrow twisty turns. It's good fun.

    Lovely little quiet lane that skirts along the edge of Wardlow Hay Cop down into Cressbrook Dale. It's a narrow single lane but not many cars use it. Makes a change from slogging up Monsal and, although it's longer, its not as steep.
