The White Peak Wander is a 100 mile bikepacking route in the south of the Peak District National Park.
Ideally ridden over two days, the route is mainly on bridleways, country lanes and disused railway tracks.
We’d recommend using a hardtail MTB for this route – there will be a fair bit of hike-a-bike if you choose to use a gravel bike. The White Peak is often overlooked by mountain bikers who tend to gravitate towards the Dark Peak and Hope Valley. However there are a myriad of quiet trails and pretty villages to explore
The route starts in the middle of Matlock close to the railway station so there’s no need to drive to the start.
When I recce’d the route I camped at the YHA in Castleton which is just off the northern end of the route.
