Cycle Routes
Direct access to the Tissington Trail from the campsite, and trails right across the Derbyshire and Staffordshire Peak District. Bring your own bikes or hire them nearby.
The Tissington Trail on your doorstep
From the site you have direct access to the traffic-free Tissington Trail, an old railway line that runs flat and easy through beautiful countryside. Head north and you can ride the 13 miles to Parsley Hay, joining the High Peak Trail if you fancy going further.
Turn the other way and it is about a 15 minute ride into Ashbourne, perfect for a pootle to the shops or a coffee. Bring your own bikes, or hire them nearby.
