I grew up in the Peak District and love going back to back to explore the High Peak and White Peak, the areas near Castleton, Hathersage and Peak Forest. On this ride I head up the old, disused Mam Tor road then ride the incredible trails and gravel lanes of the Pennine Bridleway and the Limestone Way before descending Winnat’s pass. I think I came up with one of the best routes in the Peak District to add to my collection of favourites.

Great video. Do you have the route posted anywhere? Love to do it on my big heavy Thorn Raven🙂
Great video!
Outstanding views
Nice drop there!

Keep the legs fresh and ride on😁
Absolutely beautiful roads and gravel as well ! 🚴🏼♀️
I cycled up Winnats Pass on my touring bike with pannier bags (training run for OGGLE), you can always enjoy the views when cycling at a slower pace 🙂
What a brilliant video jules 1 of your best you are so happy in the saddle if you cannot promote someone to go get out on there bike then nobody will 👍 Hope your dinner wasn’t too cold 😝David
Hi – We are coming up to the Peaks in the August to do Gravel!
Have you any Strava routes I can borrow for rides?
Castleton is a great place. The views from the top of Mam Tor are absolutely fantastic. Cycling up Winnats Pass would be my idea of hell… it's bloody steep and goes on forever! I've not cycled round there, but I've done hundreds of walks in the Peak District, including Castleton, and Winnats is awe inspiring to look at, but not to walk up. 😁 Nice video.
Hiya loved the video route looks awesome. do you have this route on Strava etc or can you pinpoint where the access.gate is to the Old Mam tor road for me.please
Do you have a direct link to your Strava route for this ride? Your link just takes you to your general Strava profile.
This looks awesome! I had planned a road bike ride around Winnats pass in a loop, but now you pointed out that gravel track just to the right of it, I am planning on doing that instead! I've been training so hard on the road I fancied something different. I will check this ride out on your strava profile, thanks!
You make me giggle! 😁😁😁 Great vid!
What a great video
What a shame that the road has. fallen into disrepair – I used to love that drive down into Castleton years ago.
I miss cool urban fixie Juliet. A series of urban escapades please! Maybe show how are fixie riders now compared to 10 years ago.
you are so joyful!!
so thats what the mount tore road looks like after the land slide where the hand gliders glide from. not ridden that since the land slide long long time a go
The weather looks beautiful I like it
I love the British countryside fresh air and peaceful place 👌
A view that refreshes the eye and makes the soul happy
