Edale Valley Tough MTB Route

There’s more than just walking in the Peak District as it offers excellent bridleways for some off path mountain biking.

This route starts off in Barber Booth in the Hope Valley, following the Pennine Way over to Oaken Clough and Hayfield.  It returns via the Pennine Bridleway before turning off towards Rushup Edge and a rough descent via Chapel Gate path to the start. Some sections of this route are tough, and probably requires some bike pushing along the way.
