Pilsbury Climb

Highlight • Trail

Gated farm road along the River Dove with scenic views but if you are coming from Hartington enjoy it while you can as the road turns into a very steep climb when you get to Pilsbury

Highstone Lane Gravel Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice clean gravel track, occasional decent sized stones but rideable on a road bike if you really want (better with gravel tyres though). Watch out for large puddles after rain.

Bakewell

Highlight • River

Bakewell is a pretty market town in the heart of the Peak District. While the town is perhaps most famous for its unique pudding, Bakewell has plenty to offer; traditional tea rooms, quirky eateries, fine restaurants, historic buildings, a weekly market, the charming River Wye and plenty of spellbinding countryside to explore.
