Rushup Edge to Peak Forest Road

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.

This road along the ridge passes through the tiny village of Bretton (a few houses and a pub). You are rewarded with endless views of the surrounding countryside.

Monsal Dale Road

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

A much gentler gradient than Monsal Head and a more enjoyable climb/descent.

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! 📸

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.
