Winnats Pass is a tough climb out of Castleton through a dramatic limestone cleft. It starts off relatively gently, but gets steeper as you near the top. The road can get busy with traffic, so take care when going down.

When the Derwent reservoir is full, the water flows out through the 'plugholes' at the southern end. A mesmerising spectacle when there's a lot of water flowing and can be enhanced by a great sunrise.

Fantastic cafe, most reasonably priced in the village. Cakes, warm food, and staff are all top notch 🤓👌

2 routes - both can be ridden entirely as roll-over rather than drops but really good riding.

Stanage Edge is an iconic gritstone escarpment that towers above the charming village of Hathersage to the south. It dominates the local area for miles around as it runs along high above for just about four miles (6 km) north to south. The views of it along the Dale Road are particularly good, and the stretch of road is pretty great too. All in all, a beautiful cycle ride.

Parking can get very busy on nice days so aim to arrive early if possible. Great place to begin a tour.

Beautiful views

The views are fantastic. The traffic, however, is not. As it's the main road from Sheffield to Hathersage it gets pretty busy. Definitely one to be avoided on bank holidays!
