Peak District Recommendations

roswell

Hi All,

I am up to the Peak District (based near Ashbourne) for a stag do next weekend and thought I would take my bike up for a blast around a few trails on the Sunday to clear the cobwebs! I am after few recommendations for a loop, taking in some nice scenery and singletrack - about 10-15 miles / 2-3 hours or so.

The Ladyblower loop seems to be cropping up alot, but what else is there?

Thanks

That's 'cos the Ladybower loop is awesome! Though to be fair, if you stick to the legal stuff, not much singletrack. Ashbourne is in the White Peak I believe (Ladybower is in the Dark Peak) which is an area I fully intend to explore more this year... But haven't yet. I'm led to believe there's more singletrack and less rockiness on that side, but other than that I can't help much.

Jacobs ladder is a great route but not much singletrack. Cutgate worth a look and that has long flowing section of singletrack in Mickledon edge. Out and back from Langsett barn its around 13 miles IIRC.
