Cave Dale Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A famously challenging Peak District descent. Extremely spicy when wet, I'd give it 4 chillies. The bad news is that it's ALWAYS wet haha. It's fairly steep in places, wide …

Pindale Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

An alternative route into Castleton. Avoid the traffic and take in the views and steady climbs on this quiet little lane.

13.3 km

Roman Road Descent, Peak District National Park

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

One of my favourite climbs in the Hope. Techy in places, steady incline, slippy when wet, dreamy when dry!

Tip by

15.4 km

Rock Dash Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Great climb with some techy features, try to clear all the rock steps with no dabs.

16.9 km

The Beast Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

We tried on Gravel bikes - doable, but so easy to come off
(and get empaled on the Barbwire fence 😬)

Tip by

19.8 km

This is always a challenge to ride up, especially when it comes towards the end of a ride! It's not technical, or even that steep; it's just long. Still, on the upside there are always plenty of sheep for company.

Lockerbrook Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fast when dry singletrack through the woods with glimpses of the reservoir on your right hand-side that opens up into a loose rocky descent, great fun! Good confidence on the bike required because it can get quite techy in places.

Cranberry Clough Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

Assuming you have ridden from Howdens reservoir, you have already climbed (or pushed) up this rather steep and rocky section with a couple of hairpin bends thrown into the mix. …

The Bank View Café

Highlight • Cafe

Great place to stop for a chip butty & a slab of cake after your walk or ride at Langsett barn

Rocky Trail Above Derwent Reservoir

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Mega fast descent full of embedded and loose rocks. Ruts galore, some small drops and great rollers to pump your way through. Super fun!

Cut Gate Trail

Highlight (Segment) • MTB Park

Amazing varied singletrack, rocky with some embedded and loose along with some great paved sections.

The views down the valley are spectacular. I highly recommend making the most of this …

Cut Gate Summit

Highlight • Viewpoint

Enjoy the view, it's hard earned. Excellent on the way back down.

Derwent Edge Rock Formations and Downhill Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Amanda, this is one of my favourite trails - Derwent edge rocks down to the reservoir via the real steep singletrack that carves down the hillside above the road is …

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 …

Ladybower Reservoir Overflow

Highlight (Segment) • Structure

Ladybower is a large reservoir in the Upper Derwent Valley. The lake is surrounded by rugged upland, rolling farmland and majestic woodland, making it a wonderful place for mountain biking. …
