Dales Mountain BikingMuch of the Derbyshire Dales is situated within the beautiful White Peak area of the Peak District National Park, the second most visited national park in the world. Our main towns are Ashbourne, Bakewell, Buxton, Matlock and Wirksworth. As you would expect there are plenty of activites to suit your needs within the Derbyshire Dales.Because much of the Dales area is limestone, rivers and lakes are not so frequently found but the terrain could not be better or more varied for the keen road cyclist or mountain biker. The White Peak area is arguably the most scenic and varied, characterised by relatively short sharp climbs. There are both wooded areas and the characteristic limestone dales which attract riders from all over the country. Regular group rides come in from the surrounding cities and towns and one of the largest and most vibrant cycle clubs in the UK, the Matlock Cycle Club is to be found nestling on the edge of the Peak District National Park. Rides to the south and east encounter less hilly terrain but a trip Northward finds the grand climbs and challenging area of the Dark Peak where both road and mountain bikes may be tested to the limits. |
