Riding in the Peak District

thefartingcockeral

Hi all,
My wife and I are planning to go to the Peak District for a long weekend riding.
What areas can you recommend for us both. We are have ridden our local trails so are not novices, but more average if that makes sense.
Nothing mental though.
Thanks

Well here's an intro.

We used to start most of our rides in Hope and head over to the reserviors of Derment and Ladybower. Cycling in the Peaks is IMHO harder than these trail centers especially when it's wet ( it's always wet).

Ladybower classic loop is a good intro for the peak district
Park at Fairholmes £4 all day,
or in one of the laybys on the way up for us tight gits

Cutgate out and back from Langsett barn would be a great intro to the Dark Peak. Good trail, not too techy and fast singletrack.
