Derbyshire offers a wonderfully diverse terrain for cycling, ranging from iconic Peak District landscapes, climbs and descents in the north; rolling lanes in the middle of the county; and flatter routes with great traffic-free trails to the south.

This book comprises a collection of ten circular routes, ranging from 44 to 77km. Where possible, the routes avoid the main roads and follow either cycle paths or quiet lanes. Five of the routes are on-road and the other five include a variety of gravel and single-track sections.

Photographs and detailed route maps are included, and all the routes are available for free download for navigation purposes.
