Magic Wood Cafe

Highlight • Cafe

This awesome little food van served us really good bacon butties and a nice cup of tea.

Really worth stopping by, although do check opening times as currently closed Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. All other days it's open from 9am to 3pm.

Langsett Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

Langsett Reservoir is a lovely place to walk around and is moderate loop with great views across the reservoir. You can also use this as a base to explore longer walks in the Peak District. There is a free car park with toilets available but this does get quite busy. There is also a nice cafe and pub close to the parking area.

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!
