Starting at Middleton Top, near Wirksworth in Derbyshire, the route takes you along the Pennine Bridleway and onwards to either John O’ groats or Cape Wrath. You will ride through some of Britain’s most stunning upland areas and across four national parks. It is not designed to be the easiest of routes. Neither is it the most direct, nor the fastest. However, the Great North Trail will inspire and invigorate those that ride it. It will provide those that tackle it with an epic adventure and a host of wonderful memories.
You can ride The Great Glen Trail all in one go, do a section at a time over a long weekend or just do a day ride.
