North Derbyshire has a huge amount of multi user trails which are a legacy from the days when the area was dotted with coal mines. They are great for riding on when the autumn and winter months arrive as the man made surface is less muddy than more naturally made trails.
The Coal Trail route is ideal for when the weather is less clement or you are short on time and only want to be out for a couple of hours. The route starts at Chesterfield railway station and is relatively flat for Derbyshire – I’ve ridden it on a single speed. It is mainly off road and is a mix of former railways, towpaths and quiet lanes.
