Old railway line (Great Northern line) converted into a multi-user path. Runs through gentle and scenic Derbyshire countryside well away from roads. Sustrans NCN route 54.
Large number of benches along the way for resting.
As an old railway line, gradient is very gradual. Very suitable place for family cycle rides as completely motor traffic free. Free parking available at the Mickleover (north) end.
Cafes near southern end (Don Amotts caravan centre) and pub near northern end (Great Northern)
