I hired an ebike from James as my bike was stolen and I enjoyed so much I bought one. We ride regularly in the Peak District and iit was wonderful getting up hills without having to stop to get my breath and amazing fun back down. James was really helpful, making sure the bikes were set up for me and giving advice. Great customer service and quality bikes, I can recommend the Bike Garage for hire and sales

We parked at Fairholmes car park which also houses the visitors center, bike hire (not visited), toilets and drinks/food kiosk. We paid £5 to park for the whole day but I think we could have parked in one of the small car parks close by on the road in for free! The money does go towards the upkeep of the area and I think it's good value. We visited the centre - the lady (Karen) was especially friendly and helpful. We then went for 2 walks - one to the West of the reservoirs and one to the East (both found in Norman Taylor's book - see photo). Excellent walks with amazing views after a climb out of the valley and then back down to Derwent and Ladybower to walk back to the car park. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Paths are well marked and maintained. Suitable walks for all ages.
