Holiday Information

With breath-taking views of hills and moorland, intriguing rock formations, and easy access by road and rail, the Peak District is the perfect destination for a cycling holiday; a place that will refresh, relax and challenge you. Over two rides you will have the opportunity to discover the beauty and history of this charming area, balanced out by relaxing evenings at your accommodation. You will be staying at The Peveril of the Peak, a comfortable country house with a lovely garden, perfect for relaxing with a well-earned pint of local ale.

Old railway lines converted to cycle paths make this hilly area achievable by bike. You can enjoy traffic-free cycling and scenic views from the Tissington Trail and the High Peak Trail, passing through the limestone countryside of the White Peak.

Explore the railways' past life at the old wharfs, engine houses and workshops along the way. We also follow the Manifold Cycle Trail, once a narrow gauge railway that takes us through a deep cut limestone valley, with steep wooded slopes and caves aplenty. Elsewhere we'll use quiet country roads with some steeper, rewarding climbs.
