The Peak District

Using the Ads on these Route Guides to buy your bike kit will help support this website

This area makes up the northern part of the Peak District National Park and is one of the 'must ride' areas for mountain biking in the UK. The valleys are covered in rocky gritstone tracks that make for fun and challenging riding.

The southern part of the Peak District National Park is covered in limestone, which makes for rolling hills and deep dales. While the riding is less technical then in the Dark Peak it doesn't mean there aren't any fun trails to find. It also has the advantage of having the High Peak, Tissington and Monsal cycle trails that make great traffic free links between the bridleways.
