beautiful peaceful spot with car park and bird hide

Better to stay at the visitor’s centre.

A fantastic choice of cheeses and they were very well stocked with a friendly atmosphere. Sadly short on Venezuelan beaver cheese, though most other tastes catered for.

Beautiful, cyclist friendly cafe! Larger than most cafes in the peaks, but still fairly small. Excellent savoury and sweet food, and of course, coffee 👌🏻

A lovely cafe! Friendly to cyclists, not huge inside but more spacious that most Peak District cafes. Excellent cobs and cakes 😋

One of the best climbs in Derbyshire in my opinion - its scale, mix of gradients and picturesque quality elevate it (pun intended) from a mere hill. There are two crux sections - one right at the start than will strip away any momentum you've built as you swing into the bottom section from Via Gellia, and one much higher up as you pass between the last houses. Between these is a long, winding and drawn-out climb through the distinctly linear and oh-so-pretty village of Bonsall, passing tempting pubs, a village green, and in summer many bemused tourists (and knowing locals). Once clear of the village though the struggle continues - the climb goes on through open country past a farm until you are on top of the world. The surface is largely good if bumpy, although in poor weather running water spills onto the roadway.

Ogston Reservoir was built to supply water to a carbonisation plant. It's now a water supply reservoir, which also helps maintain the levels at Carsington Reservoir. Ogston New Road skirts the reservoir, visiting the old village of Woolley, which was partly flooded by the reservoirs' creation. Woolly Moor to the north was created to rehome the inhabitants of the lower areas of Woolly.

Check out the cheese shop. So much choice
