    Tips

    Butterton is a pretty little village, and this isn't any ordinary stretch of pave, it's also under a few inches of water! Unclip before cycling up it - those cobbles are slippery...

      June 7, 2021

      Signposts advice cyclists to avoid the pave! I ignored these but beware as the setts have large gaps between into which a cycle tyre fits well. Can easily result in a painful and wet tumble.
      Very scenic village with a very impressive church spire.

        Caution is advised here and the previous comments are absolutely true.... But, if, like me, you stubbornly want a challenge then the cobbles are certainly rideable and a test of your balance and ability to handle slips and tyre-catching gaps! 28mm slicks just about made it through - be ready to dab if needed and well done if you manage to keep your feet dry, especially if going uphill into Butterton - one of the prettiest villages in the Peak District.

          Pretty cobbled ford to cross with a marked route advising cyclists to stick to the path along side but if you have chunky tyres should be no problem, just be aware the farm entrance is right there too.
