Peak District National Park
The Peak District National park is the oldest in the country. It’s easy to see why millions are drawn to the area every year. Rolling green hills, open moorland, and beautiful rivers and lakes to name just a few reasons why. Cycling in the Peak District is some of the best and most challenging in the country as there are miles of quiet, rural roads and tracks, the challenge comes from the fact that avoiding hills is nearly impossible. Not a concern for a keen cyclist, however.

Whilst walkers love the challenge of Thorpe Cloud, Mam Tor, and Chrome Hill. The Pennine Way long-distance footpath starts in Edale whilst the Pennine Bridleway starts at Middleton Top.
