Viewpoint with prettiest view over The Peaks

Post by redefined_cycles »

I've found 3 so far, not yoo far from the road on the OS maps. But can't decide which would be nicest to go and take a couple of pics of with the sun rising or setting...

Anyone got any ideas. Something that my 32c tires can hopefully get to without too much problems... Dont mind whichever part of the Peak it is but I'd imagine the deeper the better!

Sunset looking west off Bamford Edge - you're looking back up the Ladybower and Hope valleys. You'll be pushing up there whatever tyres you're on but it's well worth it. The ride along the top is fantastic too.

SK 21028 84640 or anywhere along that stretch opposite Win Hill.

Was looking West of Chapel en Le frith... Wow. What climbs it has with a viewpoint thingy (on OS maps in the middle). Think it might be worth me even putting the 40t cassette on aswell. The brew, will it involve a human coffee-cone to hold the filter :lol: (no but serious... I'll probably be away before too early as need to get past Matlock for them boring rosd rides :grin:

Thanks for all the suggestions btw everyone and the 'viewpoint' symbol in OS maps. Ain't it beautiful

Have a look at Messner’s vids on YouTube, he camps a lot in the Peak and will show some cracking views in his vids
