If you are ready for a serious road cycling challenge, this difficult loop in the Peak District National Park offers a demanding ride. You will cover 35.4 miles (57.0 km) and climb a significant 3477 feet (1060 metres), taking about 3 hours and 18 minutes to complete. Expect continuous undulating terrain, with views across rolling moorland, craggy cliff faces, and deep ravines, including the dramatic limestone gorge of Winnats Pass.
To begin your ride, you will find parking available in the nearby villages, providing convenient access to the starting point. The route largely uses well-paved surfaces, but be prepared for narrow, winding country roads. You should also anticipate notoriously steep gradients that will test your fitness throughout the journey.
This route is a true test for experienced cyclists, offering a significant physical challenge amidst the Peak District's stunning natural beauty. The varied landscapes, from the Hope Valley to dramatic natural features, make this one of the region's most scenic cycling viewpoints. It is an ideal choice if you enjoy pushing your limits on two wheels.
