View of Stanage Edge from Dale Road

Highlight • Viewpoint

Stanage Edge is an iconic gritstone escarpment that towers above the charming village of Hathersage to the south. It dominates the local area for miles around as it runs along high above for just about four miles (6 km) north to south. The views of it along the Dale Road are particularly good, and the stretch of road is pretty great too. All in all, a beautiful cycle ride.

This is a great climb, followed by a great view. However a word of caution, there is a path back down with a 35% descent.....GO THAT WAY AT YOUR PERIL

View of Hope Valley

Highlight • Viewpoint

New Road climbs up from the Yorkshire Bridge pub and runs high up, just under Bamford Edge offering cracking views across the Hope Valley and back down into Bamford Village.

It eventually joins up with the Long Causeway at Stanage Plantation above Hathersage. It's a pretty quiet stretch of road and much nicer than cycling along the valley bottom.

The Norfolk Arms Hotel

Highlight • Restaurant

Amazing pub on the crossroad between Sheffield and the Peak District.

It's cyclist and walker friendly, and is extremely popular with mountain bikers who use Lady Cannings and road cyclists returning from the Peaks.

Good selection of ales, and decent pub grub. The beer garden has great views over Sheffield and surrounding countryside. I can’t recommend it enough!
