What an absolute gem! This is an adventurers haven! There’s a secure cycle store and a communal kitchen. The pizzas are lush!

Stopped to get a few pics, noticed this pub has a bike repair station! What a place. Didn't get to go in as they were still closed, but if you ever out this way and you need to tighten your seat :)

Really nice to see a local business supporting the biking community.

Will be popping back for a meal and thanking the owner for putting aside a small area for bike lockup and a tool station.

Parsley Hay Visitor Centre and Bike Hire

Highlight • Cycleway

Great snack bar and bike hire centre. Makes for a good target to aim for when riding on the Tissington or High Peak Trails.

The snack bar doesn't have inside facilities so you'll have to use the picnic tables outside. These can be cold in winter as you're about 1,100 feet (335 m) up. There's some cover from the rain. and toilets facilities.

The bike hire centre offers various kinds of bikes including ones modified for disabled users and electric bikes.
