Was not aware of a 10-15 mins walk to cycle hire (not a problem flat and very pleasant). Steep hill to the start of the trail which had to push bike 50yd. Better to book bikes to avoid disappointment. Hired 2 bikes 1 electric assisted. View sights on return gives you more rest time due to slight incline on return. Stunning views even in wet weather. Need to ring bell to warn pedestrians most of the time. Paths are wide enough to pass. Staff lovely very friendly and good advice. Most enjoyable day out. Can ride to bakewell but need to exit the route by short distance but steep hill.
