Is there a cyclepath along the bridge on the A57 just here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?x=419290&y=386435&z=120&sv=419290,386435&st=4&ar=y&mapp=map.srf&searchp=ids.srf&dn=700&ax=419290&ay=386435&lm=0

or are cyclists coming from the Cutthroat bridge bridleway (east) expected to cross the road then cross it again to the road leading to the visitor centre?

Thanks.

There's a cyclepath (actually a shared use foot/cycle path) along quite a substantial section of that road and the bit down to the dam. Mind the moaning pedestrians though of which there are always loads.

there is a cycle path form the junction with the bamford road to the bottom of the Derwent Lane. There is nothing from Cuthroat Bridge to the Bamford road though

thanks very much.

you don't need to go on the road at all – you can take the cycle path along the east shore of the lake to the VC…

There is nothing from Cuthroat Bridge to the Bamford road though

apart from the bridleway ?

On the Hope Circuit you have to cross Woodhead TWICE! I remember seeing walkers etc crossing the bridleway as well, the second crossing is by a bend…..eek! 😯

"or are cyclists coming from the Cutthroat bridge bridleway (east) expected to cross the road then cross it again to the road leading to the visitor centre?"

As SFB says you just turn right at the bottom of the flagstones descent off winstone lee tor and follow the hardcore/tarmac track to the visitors centre. It's a nice traffic free spin.

Penguinious,
Hope and Woodhead pass are quite a distance apart, do you mean the snake pass?

Snake Pass yes. Sorry.

Hora, I though that would have been a big loop!!
