Cycling

A Mostly traffic free route as the section through the Tunnel is along a single track lane mostly used to access parking though there is a secondary old road that runs parallel to the trail that can be used as an alternative, The Tarmac is rather rough in places and not really suitable to ride on skinny tyres unless you enjoy getting bounced around, though it doesn't get as busy as Tissington or The High Peak Trail.
