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.

Lady Cannings & Big Moor
It isn’t often we have to get the map out. But will the opening of the new blue grade trail in Lady Cannings plantation it was time.
