Cycling The Peak District has great cycling for everyone. Whether it's really serious off-road stuff up hill and down dale in as much mud as possible or a gentle family cycle along a level trail, there is something for everyone within easy distance of Haddon Grove Farm. Some suggestions... Cycle to Bakewell (2-3 miles) and enjoy a cup of tea or an ice cream before coming back (a bit uphill!) Less than 10 minutes away are the Tissington and High Peak trails. These are former railway lines which have been set up for cyclists (and walkers) and offer gentle cycling without any big hills! Also, at Parsley Hay (just down the A515 towards Ashbourne) there is a great cafe and somewhere to hire bikes, helmets, tag-alongs and buggies. Head for Derwent and cycle round the reservoir. Suitable for competent children as well (although needing a mountain rather than a road bike) this is a 10 or 15 mile circuit with some fantactic scenery and the added advantage of not having to turn round and go back the way you've just come. Cafe and Cycle hire from Fairholmes car park just off the A57. Serious off-roaders will want to plan their own routes, but a selection can be found on the Peak District Online website
