Day
2:
Travelling South from Hathersage
you will pass through Grindleford to the infamous
plague village of Eyam, which
has a number of interesting buildings including
the 17th century manor house at Eyam Hall. Away
from Eyam takes you through rolling fields criss
crossed by row upon row of drystone walls through
the pretty village of Foolow. You will continue
past St Peters Stone to Litton before arriving at
the ancient village of Tideswell,
known locally as ‘Cathedral of the Peak’
because of its imposing 13th century church. You
will continue through Great Hucklow to an amazing
ridge at Bretton before a memorable descent through
Abney & back to Hathersage.

Day
3:
Your second ride takes you to the Upper Derwent
Valley Reservoirs. Situated amongst forested
banks of pine beneath the surrounding high moorland
this enjoyable ride has a distinctive alpine feel.
The reservoirs were made famous by the 617 Dambusters
squadron who trained with their bouncing bombs during
WW2. This gently undulating route is much different
than your previous days ride and demonstrates the
variety the Peak District
offers. (15, 26 or 36 Miles) |
