"Get on your bike and get some time outdoors."
Overview
Hicks Lodge is a former coal mine in the National Forest, that is now covered in walking, cycling and riding trails for all abilities and inclinations. There's a lake with a hide beside it so you can spy on the local wildlife, including migratory sand martins. When you're done walking, cycling or riding your horse, you can pop into the café and take a break.

About the area
The natural features of this central English county range from the modest heights of the Peak District National Park, where Kinder Scout stands at 2,088 ft (636 m), to the depths of its remarkable underground caverns, floodlit to reveal exquisite Blue John stone. Walkers and cyclists will enjoy the High Peak Trail which extends from the Derwent Valley to the limestone plateau near Buxton, and for many, the spectacular scenery is what draws them to the area.
