Leisure and culture Countryside Access Cycling
The cycle hire centre is temporarily closed while we undertake routine assessments. We'll publish more information when we have it. We're sorry for any problems this may cause.
Why not explore the High Peak Trail and the beautiful Derbyshire Dales by bike?
With over 17 miles of trails through beautiful countryside with dramatic views, our family-friendly and traffic free cycle trails are here to be enjoyed by everyone.
Just follow the line of the former Cromford and High Peak railway from the Cycle Hire Centre at Middleton Top, taking in the stunning Derbyshire Dales countryside.
We have bicycles for all ages and child seats, trailers and taggers (to add to adult cycles), through child's cycles to full size adult cycles. We have:
- hybrid bikes, ideal for the trail
- comfort bikes
- electric bikes, that help by giving you extra pedal power
We recommend that you wear a helmet while cycling. Helmet hire is free with the hire of any bicycle.
Please bring a form of photo identification with you, like a driving licence.
