HPT Gravel Loop

Join me on one of Derbyshire’s finest gravel cycling adventures – a stunning loop that combines the Tissington Trail, High Peak Trail, and a scenic ride around Carsington Water. This route is a dream for gravel riders: packed with smooth trails, epic views, and peaceful countryside.

In this video, we’ll ride:
✅ The historic Tissington Trail – a tree-lined route through limestone country
✅ The rugged High Peak Trail – with open views and a bit more edge
✅ A beautiful loop around Carsington Water – perfect for a mid-ride break and lakeside scenery

Expect gentle gradients, well-maintained gravel paths, and plenty of spots to stop, refuel, and soak in the Peak District beauty. Whether you’re local or visiting, this loop is a must-ride for any gravel enthusiast.

Well, I guess this is it according to the plan. So, uh yeah, let’s hope it will be fun. It doesn’t look like a gravel at all to me, but if that’s what the commute recommends, let’s do this. [Music] quite steep. I’m going to be your [Music] foot. Pretty nice, I must admit. But according to the map, I’m heading all the way down this [Music] one. I think I’m on the right bridal way now. [Music] Don’t fail, ladies and gentlemen. So, uh, let’s do this. I’m in Dington estate right now heading towards I think I’m not quite 100% sure but through the little ford [Music] I’m heading towards Kazington water coming out from some Atlantan village through some rideways. [Music] [Applause] [Music] Thank you. Fast and flowing trails around Kington water. I’m on climb from Gen Water all the way to um Alderark and then followed by Hypic Trail before we hit Mindful Ali and home. So nice. Even if it’s challenging, but you only live one [Music] life. [Music] Few kilometers of a steady ride now to help those muscles to recover a bit. Yes. [Music] on the way to [Music] begin and some more technical sections all the way up that bank. So, let’s do this. [Music] It’s such a beauty line. [Music] That’s fast and flowy descent in a minute. [Music] circa 40k back home, maybe a bit less. Now, this is the real reason why I swapped road bike for a travel and never look Heat. Heat. [Music]
