1. 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 | |
