ボスリー貯水池でののおすすめグラベルライド

a short sharp climb up over the top and a pleasant run down the other side towards leek

Good selection of beers and great views

Great steady ride for two old gentlemen? in their 70s

very fast coming from Pym's chair. then is a leg sapping uphill for a few miles to the end.

A small, bustling town on the edge of the Peak District, with numerous independent cafés, shops and pubs. During the Industrial Revolution, Bollington was a centre for cotton mills, quarries and coal mines. Many of the historic mills are still standing, now mostly converted to apartments.

One of the western part of Peak District greatest treasure. Ideally to be ridden ona proper fatty tyres but still doable on a gravel bike (maybe less fun 😉)

Lovely climb up from the reservoir, quiet road with fabulous views.

Great cafe for a stop if you're cycling down the canal. A small amount of outside seating, but it's nice to take away and sit on the canalside.

Middlewood Way is an 11-mile (16-km) traffic-free greenway linking Macclesfield and Marple. This mostly flat route winds through fields and small towns like Bollington. While not as scenic as trails like Tissington, it’s still a charming ride. Shared with walkers and horse riders, some sections require caution and slower speeds due to limited space. In wet weather expect muddy conditions, with a slick surface that can leave you messy. In dry weather, the hardpack path offers a smooth and enjoyable ride.

Part of the Leek Branch of the Caldon Canal the pool allows boats to turn around before the tunnel. The Churnet Way long distance walking trail and NCN 559 follow the canal towpath past the pool.

Great pub that opens at 6.00PM. Serves food.

Mixed surfaces around here

Definitely recommend walking this short section in both directions, up and down

A very nice walk/ride down a towpath

Steep ascent going up to circa 20 deg but highly recommended to keep your fitness up 😁

Nearly the whole route is flat and on light gravel, making this an ideal easy route for new bikers, injured bikers getting back in the saddle, or just an easy ride qith nothing technical or difficult

One of those “this is why we mountain bike” routes. The reward for climbing up is always the run back down. Keep your wits about you and an eye out for hikers and you’ll be smiling from ear to ear once you reach the bottom.

Nice Market town with a few good coffee stops

Brilliant areas Great cafe

The Errwood Circular route offers panoramic views during the 7.2 km walk, which should take around 2 hours. It's advised to wear walking shoes or boots, especially after rain, as the narrow path on the far side can get muddy.
