Paved Climb from Derwent Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Awesome paved climb up from Derwent Reservoir leading up to a lovely shelter that has a bench and little illustrated tiles within. Great climb, quite challenging to complete without a final push at the end before the gate.

Stream crossing at Ladybower Reservoir

Highlight • River

On a hot sunny day, ideal spot to stop and have a paddle, or like I did, chuck water down your neck to cool you down!

Whinstone Lee Tor Viewpoint Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Lovely steady climb up to Whinstone Lee Tor viewpoint. A favourite trail of mine purely for the views down the hillside and great single track.

View of Ladybower Reservoir from Whinstone Lee Tor

Highlight • Viewpoint

At the top of the final climb, and beginning of the final descent down to the pub. Here you'll find an amazing view point, ideal location to stop and grab …

View of Ladybower Reservoir

Highlight • Viewpoint

You need to head south from the Tor to see this view, but it's very difficult on a bike. Most people head East and go the long way round, not so steep but don't get to see this.
