アシュボーンでののおすすめライド

It’s a great ride along country lanes and very little traffic.

Although Back lane looks very ‘agricultural’ from this end, it’s perfectly doable on a fancy road bike. The surface is really rough for a couple of hundred metres & then less pitted & holes. My road bike is a prissy pony with 25mm tyres & barely any clearance between callipers & front tyre & she managed it fine. It allows you to get off the busy main road sooner than riding down towards Biggin & turning left there 😁

This charming little village is located nearby to Ashbourne in Derbyshire. It's nestled in the picturesque countryside of the Peak District and is characterised by historic stone cottages and a rural atmosphere. I'd recommend a stop at The Cock Inn, a beautiful traditional pub serving up food and real ales.

Rush covered mere which used to supply the village with water and provided a convenient watering stop for packhorse trains transporting salt or coal across the Peak District.

A good place to visit with a number of cafes and pubs.

This former water mill was built in 1837. It's now a grade 2 listed private residence. It still has the original water wheel which you can see but it no longer works.

Hanbury Hill is a nice climb from Coton in the Clay at 64m up to the village of Hanbury at 144m. It's about 1km from the junction with a height gain of 80m and a gradient of 6% (13% max). Great views across Staffordshire and a bench at the top.
