Peak District Gravel Classic

Ride Overview

A spring gravel classic in the Peaks taking in the heart of this stunning region.

Starting in Buxton, we take on the best gravel in the Peaks with glorious views in all directions as we head east to Bakewell & then south to the edge of the Peaks.

Unlike most of the road & MTB routes through this region, this ride is (relatively) flat / rolling with just over 1,000m elevation on the 100km long course. The gravel is well maintained and smooth so it’s suitable for riders of all abilities & experience. A great way to see one of the UK’s most beautiful regions.

Highlights
Epic rail to gravel trails throughout the route
Get off the beaten track and ride over rolling hills, passed abandoned stations and remote villages in the stunning Peak District.
Unlike most rides in this region, the terrain is relatively flat / rolling so it’s suitable for most riders.
