PeakePedals
Electric bikes open up the quieter reaches of the Peak District. Old railway lines, country lanes and estate roads link villages, valleys and viewpoints, with steady climbs made easier by the motor’s support.
Tours from The Cavendish Hotel & The Hide Hotel
The Cavendish Hotel and The Hide Hotel are two of PeakePedals’ designated meeting points. Their team will meet you here to begin tours of the local area.
All e‑bike tours are booked directly with PeakePedals.

The route joins the Monsal Trail above Cressbrook and Litton Mill, pauses at Millers Dale Station, and climbs towards Wormhill and Tideswell, home to the ‘Cathedral in the Peak’.
The return leg crosses the Wye again, passes through Headstone Tunnel, skirts Thornbridge Hall and descends into Bakewell before looping back through Edensor with open views of Chatsworth House.
