Upper Derwent Cycle Hire (Fairholmes)

Discover a range of routes from easy and family-friendly to strenuous and challenging in the beautiful Upper Derwent Valley. Choose from 11 or 6 mile routes around the water or if you’re feeling adventurous go off the beaten track.

Our cycle centre at Fairholmes offers a choice of bikes for hire, including adult and child cycles, trail-a-bikes, tandems, buggies, and mobility scooters. Friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand to offer help and advice and can repair small mechanical problems or fully service your bike.

With a combination of water, woodlands and high moorland, the area has become a unique place for wildlife and cycling is permitted on bridleways, not on footpaths or open moorland.

There's a refreshment kiosk on site that serves a range of tasty treats. Toilets (including disabled facilities) and a picnic area are also on site.

Terms and conditions of cycle hire: Proof of ID with photograph is required for each booking. Payment can be made by cash or card. Helmets are included in hire.
