Inspiration is not hard to find in somewhere as beautiful as the Peak District, but where can you go on two wheels that avoids most of the crowds? Although it may be our most popular national park, the Peak District does have its quieter corners and here are some ideas for less well-used cycle routes.
Mountain bike routes away from the trails.
Fancy hurtling down a steep, muddy track on your bike in the rain, dodging ruts and flying off bumps, sending dirty spray flying and skidding to a barely controlled stop at the bottom of the slope? If so, an adrenaline-pumping mountain bike ride in the Peak District is just the ticket.
Fun and easy-going routes for all ages and abilities
