With breath-taking landscapes, rich history and miles of traffic-free bike paths, the Peak District is a dream for cyclists. Founded in 1951, the Peak District was the first area to become an official national park in the UK. Its 555 square miles (1,444 km2) extends across Derbyshire, Cheshire, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire. With a huge amount of wildlife diversity and pretty gray-stone villages heralding back to the UK's industrial era, the Peak District is a fantastic destination to cycle.

Cycling

As you near the Peak District, you will experience a transformation in the surroundings. The region is renowned for its scenic hills, valleys, and delightful villages. Appreciate the evolving scenery as you move from urban regions to the rural and undulating terrain of the national park. Anticipate encountering frequent uphill stretches, as this route poses a challenge. At times, the inclines can be quite steep, requiring me to push a bike instead of cycling.
