Windmill Lane

Highlight • Cycleway

Lovely village. No obvious windmill

Tip by

16.2 km

No.33 of Simon Warren's '100 Greatest Cycling Climbs'. A 1.1 mile (1.8 km) climb with an average gradient of 11.4% and a max of 18.3%.

Worth it though as once you have made it up onto the ridgeline the views are awesome!

View of Rushup Edge

Highlight • Viewpoint

Without doubt one of the best views around for miles. If you have arrived there from climbing up Mam Nick it makes it all the more rewarding.

Rushup Edge to Peak Forest Road

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Perfect cut-through from Rushup Edge to Peak Forest. Views can extend for miles on a clear day.

Wheston Bank

Highlight • Trail

This is the small road that passes Dale Head Farm and then climbs the narrow valley up to Wheston. It's about 90m of ascent and quite steep initially but fun and quiet.

Tideswell

Highlight • Settlement

Tideswell is a large village that has the honour of being ‘Cathedral of the Peak’. The pretty village has narrow streets, quirky cottages and an utterly timeless atmosphere. Tideswell has a good choice of places to stay, eat and drink, making it perfect for a pit-stop or an overnight stay. The village has a packed calendar of events throughout the year, too.

Cressbrook Switchback

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

One of my favourite climbs in the area. Steady gradient heading up to Cressbrook with a stunning switchback ¾ of the way up. Make sure to stop for a photo! 📸

View of Monsal Head and the Headstone Viaduct

Highlight • Viewpoint

Monsal Head is one of the most photographed viewpoints in Derbyshire – and for good reason! Overlooking the impressive Headstone Viaduct crossing the picturesque Monsal Dale, it truly is a wonder to behold. You can stop for food and drink at the Monsal Head Hotel and there is usually an ice cream van parked here.
