Peak District Cycling

£9.99

The joy and freedom of cycling country lanes and byways

Make your own route, or follow our commissioned routes, the National Cycle Network and the trails.

Two landscapes in one National Park: the Dark Peak's gritstone moors and crags in the north, dropping south into the pastoral White Peak and the Derbyshire Dales. Between them, some of the best country-lane cycling in Britain — and in the Tissington, Manifold and High Peak Trails, three of the longest converted railway lines in the country, level and traffic-free.

On the map: commissioned routes, the National Cycle Network and traffic-free trails · ancient monuments, churches and historic buildings · gardens and scenic villages · places to eat, drink and stay.

The map itself: laminated, waterproof, tear-resistant, altitude layering, and a scale made for touring.

"Perhaps you need a better map, or, more accurately, you need the collection of Country Lanes Cycling Guides from Goldeneye… carefully prepared to keep you on the bendy and narrow, rather than the fast and four-lane." — Sunday Times Travel

The Peak is my own patch. I moved here to climb forty years ago, and when cragging lost its hold, mountain biking took its place and I read the landscape a different way. I served my apprenticeship with Andy Birkby and Kim George, who knew every lane and bridleway by heart and rarely looked at a map. Much of what's here I owe to them.

Happy cycling — Al Churcher
