보슬리 최고의 사이클링 경로

Keeps you on your toes 😜 great fun if you don’t mind abit of a challenge 👍

The Cumberland Clough descent is used by Motocross bikes and is very churned up most of the year. For a very competent gravel biker/MTB it is possible to ride but much better suited to full sus (or at least some suspension) due to large loose rocks, and often went slippery surfaces.

Great view up the lake from the dam, easy access to the Rudyard railway, lovely ice creams etc from the cafe

Good selection of beers and great views

Don't attempt to cycle these on your bike unless you are Danny McAskill or similar

‘I got the shock of my life when I went in the Adelphi for the first time - you worked stripped - you just wore trousers and bare feet. The temperature was roughly a hundred degrees. Then, during the war, they started issuing us with rope-soled sandals. You couldn't wear shoes because the floor was just like an oil slick - oiling all those spindles’. Excerpt taken from a Bridgend Heritage Trail 8 Leaflet

Adelphi Mill in Bollington was constructed in 1856 by brothers George and Martin Swindells, expanding on their father's existing cotton mill business, Clarence Mill. Initially spun cotton, the mill later transitioned to silk and then man-made fibers. It closed in 1975, and now houses a variety of businesses, accessible from Grimshaw Lane.

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.
