Cycle Steps
Beautiful scenic views of Woodhead Valley as you make your way up the old disused railway line.

The Railway line has been pulled up and a hard pack gravel surface laid. it is a very gradual climb up through the valley (hardly recognisable till you are comig back down!!).

You can ride 7 miles to the Woodhead Tunnel (which is now blocked off) and then you turn round and come back. stunning views and countryside... NOT TO BE MISSED
Landmarks/Pubs for lunch/Sites to see?
The trail has markers that point out different points of interest on the way. some of these alone are fascinating

Lovely ride today (31/7) up the valley and back with ballast in tow (aged 2 and 4 in kids trailer) and wife for company :)

However, I'm beginning to think that 13 miles was a little ambitious to break me/us back in after many years' break! If anyone uses this route and finds the remnants of my arse, please could they return it!
