About Pedal Peak District
Pedal Peak District is a £2.25 million project set up to:
- encourage more people to cycle, particularly those who don’t at the moment or do so only occasionally.
- promote regular cycling for fun, health, fitness and transport.
- create a new cycle route from Bakewell to Buxton which includes re-opening former railway tunnels that have been closed off to the public since the 1960s.
- promote better public transport links to cycling routes to help reduce car use and carbon emissions.
The project is managed by the Peak District National Park Authority and is part of a pilot project being run by Cycling England, an independent body funded by the Department of Transport
The Peak District National Park was chosen for its extensive network of trails, cycle hire centres and attractive scenery within easy reach of big towns and cities.
