Cycling
Over the last few years the Peak District has become a major destination for cyclists. The 2014 Tour de France passed through the northern portion of the Peak District and the annual Euroica cycling festival is hosted locally.
The Peak District is a brilliant place to explore on a bike, with a number of different off-road cycle paths for the whole family to enjoy.
We have recently invested in a specially designed cycle storage shelter, providing a dedicating place to store your bike. We also have a wash down area in order for you to ensure your bike is in the best condition after a cycle. There are also brushes available to clean your bikes with.
We are ideally located for most of the trails, about 3 miles from the Monsal Trail. The High Peak, Tissington and Manifold Trails are all a short drive away.
There are other routes in easy reach including Carsington Water and Derwent Dam.
We have a range of maps and route on site which are available to borrow. If you don't have your own bike to bring along on your holiday, there are places available to hire bike, these can be found on the links below, or we can advise when you arrive for your stay.
The Monsal Trail is the former Midland Railway Line which runs for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road in Bakewell. It is now a traffic free route for walkers, cyclists, horse riders and wheelchair users. It passes through spectacular limestone dales, with a number of tunnels along the route. Along with the tunnels there is also a spectacular viaduct on the route. Cycle hire is available from Hassop Station or Blackwell Mill Cycle Hire
Suggested stop offs:
The Hassop Station Cafe and Monsal Head Hotel are both just off the Monsal Trail
