ACTIVE PEAK
Whether you’re a hardened hiker or fair-weather walker, seriously good cyclist or laid-back biker, the Peak District offers plenty of scope to get active. Challenge yourself on a bracing moorland walk or soaring gritstone edge. Stretch your legs with a leisurely stroll along a leafy footpath or riverside walk. Tackle a tough upland route on your mountain bike or let an electric bike take the strain and enjoy the scenery – it’s up to you.
Our impressive network of footpaths, traffic-free cycle trails and bridleways makes it a pleasure to stroll, pedal or take to horseback as you explore the area – as fast or as slow as you want to. Whatever sport or activity you choose, the sky’s the limit.
Peak District dog-walkers are asked to keep their pets on short leads to protect young animals during the spring breeding season. For more advice click here .
