RouteXpert Review
This route starts from a McDonald's which is easily reached from a lot of towns and cities as it is at the end of the M67 motorway. It uses some of the best roads in the Peak District National Park including Holme Moss, the infamous 'Snake Pass' and the Cat and Fiddle. Some of the roads are small and infrequently used meaning that there maybe a little grass growing in the middle of them. The roads have been chosen to offer some of the best views and motorcycling experiences the Peak District has to offer. The route stops for lunch or a coffee at the famous bikers meeting place of Matlock Baths, here you will find a good selection of restaurants and food shops to satisfy your needs. Ladybower Cafe.
Lunch stop at Matlock Bath.
