	Route Development - Pennine Bridleway - National Trails
		The development of the Trail is managed by the Countryside Agency in partnership with the local authorities as shown in the progress table on the "Facts and Figures" page.
		At the start of the project around 40% of the approved route for the Trail was either on footpath or had no rights of access therefore new bridleway rights have had to be negotiated with landowners on the sections that were not legally rideable.
		The Pennine Bridleway has its own National Trail officer who is responsible for overseeing the development of the Trail and once sections of the route are open, ensuring with the help of the local authorities, that the Trail is maintained to National Trail standard.

		The Peak District: Freewheelin' Izzy is on the trail to nowhere
		The Peak District is particularly well served for cycle trails (see below) on the routes of former railway lines, and we've explored miles along the pretty High Peak and Tissington trails and pounded the Longdendale, which is overseen by pylons, but a good ride none the less.
		Some friends have recommended the farm seven miles along, near the end of the trail, for lunch, so we press on past Wetton Mill, an old corn mill that is now in the care of the National Trust, with cottages and a cafe.

	Derbyshire and Peak District Trails - walking and cycling route on old railway tracks
		The Tissington Trail set up by the Peak National Park is a scenic route 13 miles in length, running from Mapleton Lane, north of Ashbourne, to Parsley Hay.
		The trail follows the old Buxton to Ashbourne railway and the rambler or rider finds himself travelling through the matchless countryside of the National Park without the interference of cars, pollution or noise.
		This is perhaps the most interesting of the trails because this railway was not level but had several quite steep inclines, which now provide variety for the cyclist - even though you are advised not to cycle down them.

		The trail is suitable for all but the purest of racer type bikes and at approximately 16 miles long it incorporates a section of the 'High Peak Trail' towards the northern end of the route which does get a bit rougher surface wise.
		The cycling is relatively easy but the trail is very popular (and very,very scenic) with other cyclists and walkers so don't expect a 'get away from it all' feeling.

		The Longendale Trail is built on the railway bed of the Manchester to Sheffield railway line and is a popular route for local people as well as long distance cyclists.
		The entire stretch of reservoirs was completed in 1884, and at the time they were the longest chain of reservoirs in the world.
		And as the cycle route dips in and out of the valleys on this first part of the route it's worth remembering that there were 112 cotton mills here at one time and many of the mills were served by these reservoirs alongside the Longendale Trail.
