About trip
Where: Ashover, Derbyshire. Distance: 28.7 miles. Ascent: 3,613 ft. Map: Ordnance Survey Explorer OL24 Parking: There is a free car park in Ashover by the village hall SK350632. Overview: Further south than the areas the majority of people usually ride in the Peaks, this area is well worth a visit. There is quite a lot of tarmac on this route, but it is used to link up some excellent bridleways. Typically climb on tarmac then descend on great rocky Peak District trails. Rideable all year round but there are a couple of sections which can get boggy in the wet. Some of the high moor sections can also be very exposed.
