Explore the White Peak on a circular self-guided mountain bike holiday, beginning and ending in Hathersage.
From £355 per person
Experience superb singletrack and plummeting descents along the famous limestone trails of the Peak District’s White Peak.
The White Peak MTB trail is a self-guided mountain biking holiday that loops out from Hathersage, charging between famous limestone edges and great Peak District villages, complete with great pubs. Clambering onto Shatton Moor, it takes in the dramatic and technical descents from Bradwell Edge and uses the Monsal Trail to sweep into Bakewell. Switchback descents and an easy cyclepath along the steam railway line lead the way to excellent singletrack through Manners Wood. Chatsworth House glitters ahead along a thin ribbon of bridleway down through wide open fields.
Past Longstone Moor and a plummet into Calver, the White Peak MTB visits the spectacular edges of Baslow, Curbar and Froggatt. It makes sure to hit all the great trails around Totley, Blacka and Burbage moors, before approaching the purpose-built mountain biking trails of Lady Canning’s Plantation — an absolute blast for anyone still full of energy. The final descent leads back to Hathersage and the completion of this scenic, satisfying loop.

The White Peak MTB is primarily off-road, with limited interaction with traffic and few stretches of tarmac. The terrain is largely hard-packed, grit or mildly rutted, with a few more technical sections over bared rock and tangles of roots. Any well-maintained hardtail or full-suspension mountain bike will be suitable for this route.
