Discover the amazing Peak District

Explore the Peak District by bike

The Peak District is one of the most popular areas for Mountain Biking in the UK. Mountain bikers have been coming to the Peak for a long time for its unique and challenging trails.

The best routes to explore

With every bike hire, we can talk you through a suitable route for your requirements. And give you a map to take to get straight to the best trails. From a leisurely spin around Ladybower Reservoir to a path high up on the moors there is something for everyone. Below are a couple of examples of some of our favourite routes. See our 10 years of Hire video.

Penny Pot Edale

Under new enthusiastic ownership since March 2019 you can be sure of a warm welcome.  Open all year round you can treat yourself to some simple home cooked food, a piece of cake or if you just need a water bottle refill they are more than happy to oblige.  If it’s a cold day you can relax by the log burner and on the warmer days take a break on the terrace before you set off fully recharged for the rest of your ride.
