Ideas for Matlock Area please

Hi,
Going on holiday with the family to Matlock, looking for:
- interesting Single track routes
- routes suitable for taking a baby in a bike seat
Any ideas welcome
Thanks
Mike

For basic baby carrying trails you have the tissington trail, monsal trail and highpeak trail reasonably close also ladybower has the classic single track off road route and you can go around the reservoirs themselves. Most of the singletrack tends to be towards castleton area.

Thanks very much, will check them out.
Although having put my daughter on the back of my bike for the first time today, it doesn't handle as well as normal... :-)

Carsington Reservoir is an easy 12km loop with an ice cream stop.
