6.50 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

9.17 km

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.

Tip by

Upper Derwent Visitor Centre and Café

Highlight • Rest Area

This place is open every day, all year round. We stopped for an ice lolly on a beautiful sunny day and admired the reservoir and ducks.

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.

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 …
