Where you can cycle to
Both the High Peak and Tissington Trails are easily accessed and provide over 30 miles of flat, traffic-free cycling, walking and horse riding. New routes are being developed to enable you to join up with other cycle trails in the area as part of the White Peak Cycle Routes and the Tissington Trail also forms part of the 350 mile Pennine Cycleway to Berwick-upon-Tweed.
