Bikepacking the 5 trails loop Part 2 Ashbourne to Chesterfield on Glorious Gravel

Join me on a spectacular cycling journey through the heart of the Peak District! Starting in Ashbourne, I take on the scenic Tissington Trail, a traffic-free route with rolling views and old railway charm, all the way up to Parsley Hay.

From there, I switch onto the rugged and remote Pennine Bridleway, heading west across wild moorland and limestone landscapes before descending into the dramatic valley of Millers Dale.

Next, it’s onto the stunning Monsal Trail — with its tunnels, viaducts, and breathtaking views — a must-ride for any UK cyclist. After that, I wind my way east through Baslow, riding beneath the shadow of the Chatsworth Estate, before the final stretch into Chesterfield, home of the iconic crooked spire.

This ride has it all: traffic-free trails, technical sections, epic scenery, and a true sense of adventure. Perfect for route inspiration or a virtual escape into the British countryside!
