The Dark Peak Village Explorer
Roam the hills & discover the charming villages of the Dark Peak
Service Description
From Bike and Boot quiet country lanes are soon reached to take you high into the Dark Peak moorlands. Trails and bridleways lead to some of the highest elevations on Shatton Moor before Abney and the gliding Club at Great Hucklow are reached. A short detour allows views of 5 counties from the Barrel Inn at Bretton or maybe wait until you have ridden down to the picturesque village of Foolow to find the Bulls Head! Or just wait until a few trails have been negotiated and Eyam (the historic Plague village) is explored with its many cafes and pubs. It is then a ride back up and over the Moor to reach the iconic Plough Inn before minor roads and bridleways return to the Bike and Boot. At least you will have a good idea of where to book your evening meal and recover from those hills!
