ミドルトンアンドスメリルのおすすめMTBライド

There’s a rock fall just beyond here if you’re heading NW - they have closed the bridleway but there are no signs before the last opportunity to take a detour - i have added pictures of the signs with all the information. I took a detour on bicycle through Brassington. Hopefully the trail should be open by March 6th 2026.

We were there just after some heavy rains and the river was quite wide and deep, difficult to get the bikes through. We decided to dismount and carry the bikes over the footbridge. This would have been easy if there was not a metal post at the eastern end making it difficult, especially as one of the bikes was a very heavy electric machine.

Stopped to get a few pics, noticed this pub has a bike repair station! What a place. Didn't get to go in as they were still closed, but if you ever out this way and you need to tighten your seat :) Really nice to see a local business supporting the biking community. Will be popping back for a meal and thanking the owner for putting aside a small area for bike lockup and a tool station.

Small town in the national park with visitor centre

Regular passenger services on this line ended in 1954, but excursions continued until 1963. Freight continued until October of that year, the track to Ashbourne finally being lifted in 1964. The station buildings were demolished after closure but the typical LNWR signal box has been preserved as a visitor centre.

High quality food in a popular pub

Stunning place to Hike or Ride

Deep enough to get your feet wet
