Route Description
From the start close to Ashbourne Leisure Centre both routes initially pass through the old Ashbourne railway tunnel (which is tarmaced, lit and approx 350m long) before emerging into open White Peak countryside – the route then follows the flat and easy Tissington Trail (an old railway line converted into a cycleway/footpath) for approximately 4km where it turns left towards the village of Thorpe. After passing The Old Dog pub a short drop down the road brings you to the Peveril of the Peak hotel – this is where the routes split. Read more
