An approx 8.5 mile route with a real ‘Old English Estate’ feel. A short trip through Silverhill country park and a section on small country lanes links through to the estate. Views of Hardwick Hall are quickly found, and upon reaching the parkland, there is a lovely uphill canter stretch. The scenery is typical, including lakes and clustered trees. Passing through a picturesque small estate village with an attractive church, lanes are broad and treelined with wide verges, where a cheeky canter might be found. The route concludes via trails, which form part of the Phoenix Greenways network.

There is some road work on this ride, mainly on small country lanes, but there is some proximity to the M1 with an overpass adjacent to the route.
