Publisher's Synopsis

Guide to cycling in and around the Peak District National Park, on road or trail bike. 20 day routes and one multi-day cycle Tour of the Peak District. All easily accessible from Sheffield, Huddersfield, Manchester and Stoke-on-Trent. Routes from Ashbourne, Matlock, Bakewell, Buxton and many other charming Derbyshire towns right across the park on quiet roads and off-road trails. All graded from Easy to Hard according to a combination of distance, gradient, terrain and ascent. The Peak District is now becoming a popular cycling destination with its network of quiet lanes, gentle off-road trails and stunning upland views just right for two-wheeled exploration. All the routes are described in detail, with information about nearby refreshments, cycle hire, public transport and parking, and illustrated with OS maps and route profiles. Appendices cover cycle hire outlets, car parks and public transport in detail as well as outlining a basic tool list and basic tips on bike maintenance and repairs.

About the Publisher

Cicerone Press

For over 40 years Cicerone has established a reputation as the very best publisher of guides to exploring the hills, mountains and countryside of Britain, Europe and the world. So where does the name "Cicerone" come from? The Oxford English Dictionary definition of Cicerone is simply 'a guide', or in other dictionaries, 'a guide to the mysteries and antiquities of a place'. We are an enthusiastic team based in Milnthorpe, just south of Kendal on the edge of England's Lake District. Where could be better for an outdoor activities guidebook publisher? We now produce a range of over 320 guidebooks to walking, trekking, climbing, mountaineering and cycling. We cover the UK and Europe, and have many guides to other regions of the world. We publish about 30 new guides and fully updated editions each year as well as aiming to update every guide when we reprint it.
